Leveraged funds have been an important part of my investment strategy for many years. I use them to easily increase market exposure during the many months of market up trends, to seek enhanced returns, and to decrease exposure when the market is overpriced and during downtrends. I am very capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need or want any additional regulations imposed on me and the use of these funds.

This rule would take valuable tools out of the hands of everyday investors, limiting them to the wealthy and corporations. This doesn't help anyone; it takes the tools away from them which help them succeed. This rule is shameful and antithetical to financial freedom.

Please stop trying to regulate leveraged in inverse funds further. we really don't want or need this.

Investors should be free to make their own decisions in where they would like to invest their money, short or long term, however risky it may be, so long as the fund is honest. Small caps or OTC is just as volatile and risky if not more. Options trading is way more risky than leveraged ETFs as well. You limit retail's tools to hedge or make large gains by stopping us from using these. Anyone who feels like they are not to blame for losing money with these funds should not be investing at all.

I should be able to choose the public
investments.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before I can invest in public securities.

I am against the test requirement -- there are a lot of people like me who are beyond 75 years old and have experience investing in this type of investments and self-limit their investments not to go over certain limit and are NOT COMFORTABLE GIVING TESTS.

Please do not take away my rights to make my own investment choices. Leverage should not be limited to only a certain class of investor.. keep the markets free and fair.

This really stinks for investors.
Keep your hands off feds!
Go regulate nancy pelosi and joe biden!

Sirs: I oppose the restrictions and measures FINRA is considering regarding who may purchase "complex products". I support all investors' right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions. Do not discriminate among "classes" of investors. Do not "hand pick" and "judge" those among us who are "allowed" to invest. Upward mobility should be protected and encouraged, not discouraged and limited only to the "qualified" in a free capitalistic system.

I don't need any gubmint regulator telling me what I can or can't buy. How about you investigate the naked shorting and other misbehavior?
