The brokerage company I work with always provides information on risk with investing. As do drug companies with risk on heath. Leave the way I want to invest alone. Ones choice. Free country.

I know what Im doing with investments like these.

Keep your hands off my investing choices!

I oppose the proposed restrictions on leveraged or inverse funds. To me, those funds are invaluable in allowing me sometimes invest in a diversified index simulating single stock performance but without single stock risk, especially during earnings season where price gap downs can occur. They also help me easily maintain my portfolio value in market downturns. Please allow me to continue trading inverse and leveraged funds. I need them. Besides, before be allowed to trade these types of funds, my broker required my sign an agreement regarding the risks of trading of these type of funds.

I oppose restrictions or regulations that inhibit my investment choices. I intentionally choose leveraged or inverse funds as a part of my portfolio. I want to be able to buy or sell those funds at any time of my choosing. These funds have risks like other funds or stocks. We don't know the future. But we all have our own hunches as to what might happen. Noone should have the right to make choices for anyone else. We all should be able to make our own choices free from being coerced or forced to follow someone else's viewpoint.

I should be able to buy any legal instrument that my brokerage house approves me for based on my account and agreements between the brokerage and me, not mandated by a regulatory body.

Response to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) proposed rules on leveraged ETFs Leveraged ETFs may be volatile but it is not more volatile than many individual securities. In addition to uncertainties with individual stocks. Investors are able to allocate the use of leveraged ETFs to diverse their assets to fit their risk tolerance against the effects of a volatile and uncertain market. Placing restrictive rules on leveraged ETFs makes no more sense than putting rules on individual securities that are as volatile or more volatile than leveraged ETFs.

Please don't take away my ability to invest in investments that allow me to take control of my personal financial future. Leveraged and inverse ETFs allow me to adapt to changing market conditions and allow me to hedge against market conditions that are often volatile. I have been investing since I was 18 years old and I don't want my options to invest limited or reduced.

I do not think that regulators should tell me what I can and cannot invest in.

We have been trading options on leveraged funds for several years. That is how we make our money. From time to time the fund is put to the account and we manage the position to have it called out in a timely manner. To take that ability away from us would be harmful to our investing style. As a knowledgeable trader, we should have the right to trade these positions and not be told we are not capable.
