It is outrageous that government bureaucrats would think that they have a 'right' to judge when and if a citizen can buy a product! Didn't you learn from the Obama healthcare debacle that you CAN'T DO THAT!

I have a right to invest in whatever legitimate business I see fit. Back off with this nanny-state nonsense. Let me lose my money... or cash in ... as I see fit.

There is a venerable old saying that goes something like this:
Protect men from the effects of folly and fill the world with fools.

Everyone should have the rights to buy and sell securities/ETF's just like any major institution. Considering the blatant and glairing market manipulation that has occurred in the past two years bye high net worth individuals and major institutions. Everyone should have equal access as this is what our country is predicated on.

Even as a high-net-worth investor, if this law passes it will severely restrict my access to these types of products, especially inside of my retirement accounts. This would result in a significant negative impact to my future investment flexibility and effectiveness.

Hello there,
I am a long time investor in Leveraged ETFs of US indices.
I understand the risk and reward involved in it. I have more than 15 years of investing experience in Equity, Mutual Funds, Derivatives and other investment products.
I want to have my own investment flexibility with my money and do not want someone restricting it by some or the other means.

Please don't limit people's ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds. Investors, not regulators, are able to choose the public investments that are right for them and their family.

As an individual investor, I reserve the right to make my own investment decisions. I would not like any restrictions placed on my trading abilities.

These ETFs have existed for almost 10 years. Why restrict access to them now?

I am opposed to any new regulation proposed by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) limiting access to publicly traded vehicle. Disclosure, due diligence, and free choice should remain unhindered by more subjective regulatory law.
I do use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge a broad range of equity investments with simplicity. These sector or index ETFs are used with leverage to balance my risk %.
I should be able to choose without filter of regulation.
