We want to choose our investments the way we want - not you. We don't want to go through any special processes or test so we can invest in the type of investments we want - we are capabe of knowing what we or understand what we like when it comes to the type of leverage and inverse funds we want.

I adamantly oppose any regulations that would restrict or prevent my right to invest my money how I see fit. It is my responsibility to choose investments, which may include some public investments, as a part of my overall portfolio, and those that would best suit my financial goals.

I use these tools in my investment portfolio. The regulations would absolutely make my families life harder, along with millions of others.
With basic research, one can fully understand the risk that they are taking on. It is up to the investor, not regulators, to ensure they are making prudent decisions.
These regulations will hurt the value of these longstanding products, thus incurring losses for the free individuals who have made the personal decision to invest with these products for decades.

I am against imposing regulations on my ability to invest in inverse and leveraged funds. I have invested in such funds and realize the risk involved and understand the basics of how they work. Imposing regulations on these funds sets a very very dangerous precedent. What will you regulate next? I don't need some government bureaucracy trying to protect me from myself. That is NOT the role of government.

I do not appreciate regulators restricting my choices of what I can invest in by making arbitrary rules.

As an individual, I learned that prior to investing in securities, I had to invest in my own financial education first, including risks associated with leveraged and inverse funds. Instead of making it more cumbersome to invest, consider helping and making it easier so younger generations may start earlier and reap the most benefits.

FINRA Regulators:

I have been using leveraged and inverse funds as a primary part of my trading strategy for 4 years now. The instruments do present risk to traders but investing is a risky endeavor, the risk of the products are documented, and these are adults choosing to trade using the instruments. Taking the options away, limits options for investors to manage their own risk/reward level. Much of the market is already off limits to retail investors, regulators should not be removing even more at this stage.

Please allow this decision to the buyer

Frankly I dont understand the rationale behind this suggested change. I am definitely a small investor. Under my 401k rules I am prohibited from shorting stocks, nor may I purchase put options. The only methods through which I can possess some ability to protect myself in an all out bear market is /was through these equities.
If this suggested change becomes a reality I (and many others) will just have to grin and bare it when the market dives.

Dear FINRA,
I oppose limitations on my ability to purchase leveraged & inverse ETFs. These ETFs are critical instruments to hedge my investments to maintain value in volatile markets. Hedging instruments should be available to all the public, not just the privileged.
