Trading leveraged ETFs should be treated as other stocks without limitations. First, trading leveraged ETFs is a way to use less expenses but protect one's assets under risky environment if one doesn't know how to trade options. Secondly, while options require approval and have different levels, leveraged ETFs do not have same attributes as options such as losing all premiums or trading uncovered. I urge that we sustain traders' freedom of choosing stocks under our demoncratic country.

I'm writing in opposition of the proposed restrictions to the right to invest in leveraged ETFs. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I have 20+ years of trading experience and leveraged funds is one strategy I employ as part of my investment plan.

I do not want to have to go through any special process if i want to trade inverse or leveraged instruments. I am capable of understanding these funds and their risks

Greetings FINRA Principals,

This message is to implore your body to please NOT pass new, highly-restrictive rules/regulations on leveraged securities. I am a retail, middle-class trader/investor who uses these vehicles very judiciously - fully understanding the time decay factor and that they are not meant to be long-term holdings but instead, utilized for short-term swings only. These ETF offerings have been helpful in establishing financial security within my family's investment portfolio.

Comments: Let's know risks and rewards to investors and let them decide to invest or not.
Limiting investment ability is not good.

Where were you when the world economy was about to crumble in 2008? Hundreds were responsible, yet only one person went to jail and you're concerned about this issue? Stay out of my investing life and focus on those that need regulating.

I am adamantly opposed to any restriction or limitation on my ability to purchase inverse and or leveraged investments.

To whom it may concern,
I strongly oppose restrictions on my ability to purchase leveraged and inverse funds.
Ive been a frugal investor for decades, and have used these funds as part of my overall risk balancing strategy. Any changes or restrictions will adversely affect me and require significant effort to overcome at this point in my life.
Please do not pass these restrictions and impose undue hardship on those who have been thoughtfully & carefully using these funds for years.
Sincerely, - John Sangimino

I oppose the restrictions on my rights to invest.

I think that I should be able to make my own investment decisions without further regulations from Big Brother. The sponsors of leveraged and inverse funds are required to make numerous disclosures regarding risks of the funds as well as how they operate. It is the responsibility of an investor to read and understand these disclosures. If he doesn't do that he can choose not to invest in them, or he can invest in them anyway knowing that he may not understand the risk. It's called personal responsibility.
