This screams corruption.
You shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,like leveraged and inverse funds. I am
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on me.Leveraged and inverse funds are important to your
investment strategies. Me not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.

Hello,

The rules governing leveraged funds are transparent and easy to understand. Regulators should block speculative futures and option markets before disallowing leveraged ETFs

I oppose the proposal to restrict my right to invest in public investments, specifically leveraged and inverse funds. I invest in these types of funds regularly and fully understand the risks involved. My brokerage firm shows a notification requiring acceptance before allowing the transaction to be completed. I, and I alone, accept the risk for these investments. There is no need for regulators to interfere in my investing choices. I strongly oppose this regulation.

To whom it may concern,

It is unfair and unfathomable that you would suggest limiting regular investors from investing in complex securities including leveraged funds. The prospectus for these funds are clear and easy to understand. Products such leveraged funds are behaving exactly as expected and as outlined in understandable prospectuses. No additional regulation is needed or warranted. Any regulation that prevents regular investors from utilizing these securities only hurts their and my long term investing strategies. Please drop consideration for these regulations.

To FINRA, It has come to my attention through my broker that this notice may lead to a restricting of many types of investments that I have available to me. While some of the recommended requirements such as a cooling-off period and an increase in information that a client must see could benefit retail investors. Other requirements such as a net worth requirement are troubling, to say the least. As does the catch-all term "complex products".

Dear Finra, I use these funds to generate income for my family. These are great, innovative products that balance out the risk/reward for an investors portfolio.

Losing accès to these would negatively impact my ability to generate a return and provide form family. Please do not limit access to these funds.

As a former registered representative, I think the pending regulation and restriction on leveraged and inverse funds is unfair and unreasonable. Investors should have these tools at their disposal to protect their portfolios and have the chance to increase returns as they see fit.

I have watched for years as unelected regulators have destroyed business after business in order to protect those who know nothing about business. I travel from one side of the world to the other and I have never seen another country that has tried to dumb itself down the way the US has. There are some people who do the required work to invest in leveraged investment products. Do not dumb down leveraged investments for the sake of those who have no business investing.

Let regular Public invest whatever they want to. Regulator should be ones not allowed to buy in themselves.
