I, not regulators, should be able independently to choose public investments which are best for me and my family. I should not be required to go through a special process such as passing a test to invest in securities such as leveraged and inverse funds. I as a private investor have sufficient understanding of the workings risks of such funds, and have enjoyed over 20 years of investing in such funds under the Profunds family. These are important for my investment strategies which have allowed me to seek enhanced returns as well as hedge my overall investments.

I would like to be able to purchase inverse and leverage investments.

I oppose this move to limit my investing capabilities in leveraged funds

Im financially savvy and am willing to risk my money. Having an income/net worth bar will greatly increase the wealth gap and further discriminate and disenfranchise folks like myself

Why do I need some "regulator" to be my guardian angel to tell me what I can and cannot invest in. It is my money, and if I lose it, it is my fault. I have no desire to let some nanny-state agency tell me what I can and cannot do with MY MONEY. Do what you want with your money, leave me out of your decisions.

Please do not restrict my freedom to invest in instruments that I desire.

I should be able to pick and invest in any type of fund I wish, without any testing or high net worth requirements.

If regulators were truly concerned with retail investors well being there would be actual transparency when it comes to dark pools. There would be jail time for breaking the law, not fines that are rolled into the cost of doing business.

Dont worry about me and my money. Go after the financial terrorists that manipulate the stock market daily.

As individuals and investors is a free market/country we should have the ability to invest in all security with in the stock market with out being restricted.

Hi Finra, the american public should have the right to invest in leverage funds. I use them to trade commodities, indexes and where I have a long term position I use them to hedge my position. If you don't make these funds available, you will force investors to go to options, which are much harder to trade with. I think the FInra issue is that leveraged funds should not be held for the long term....sure I understand that, and if thats the concern tell investors of it using examples and make them acknowledge it.
