As an investor in a short ETF of the S&P, I take exception to regulators entering into the process of what ETFs, I can purchase. I am well aware of the risks associated with it.

I dont agree with the notice. Everyone should be able to invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs

As a small retail investor, I use and have been using for the past 12 years, several complex products to enhance my returns in order to save enough for my retirement. I object to any rules that would deny my access to these products as it would put my retirement goals in jeopardy. ESPECIALLY any cool down periods that may be imposed and possibly lock in temporary losses. That being said I am always in favor of education. Financial literacy needs to be taught, not just for complex products, as any financial instrument can prove disastrous if not understood.

Dear FINRA: I'm a long term buy & hold retail investor of leveraged exchange traded funds (ETFs.) I am a significant shareholder of ProShare's ETF "UPRO" at owning 0.01% of all outstanding shares, and of Direxion's "TMF" owning 0.07% of all outstanding shares. If you were to consider me an institution, I'd be rank #12 of ownership in terms of shares for TMF. I have bought and held leveraged ETFs for years.

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public. Additional regulation is not needed as companies are required to provide disclosures. You should not have to go through any special process, like passing a test before you can invest. I use these type of funds as a part of my overall portfolio strategy (e.g., a hedge, enhanced returns). Please consider my comments in this matter. Thank you for your time.

I use a Profunds inverse interest rate fund as a hedge on my business. I'm a mortgage broker and when interest rates raise, my business always slows down. This fund allows for my investments to increase in value when I don't make very much money. I don't understand why regulators want to take away a very valuable investment class.

i am against the passage of regulations that could create restrictions on investment in leveraged and inverse funds and etfs.

People should be left to invest how they feel would be best for their family and themselves. Just disclose the risks In the prospectus. Let's keep our investment platforms Open to the public and give everyone the same right and chance to build a retirement or invest and save money as the wealthy or the acredited.

It has come to my attention that FINRA is considering further regulating certain leveraged and inverse ETF funds by placing additional requirements on who may trade them. As someone who has traded in stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs for nearly 30 years for my own portfolio and 3 years as a Series 6 and 63 Registered Representative, I oppose such a restrictive move as a dangerous overreach by this governing body. I engage in using these types of funds regularly as part of my investment portfolio, and will continue to oppose this move. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I oppose the move
