Please do not impose additional limits on how I can or cannot invest my money. I work hard for it and feel that I should be able to make my own choices.

While optics are ever present around good consumer advocacy policy, creating regulatory burden is not a good way to go about this.

In the strong capitalistic financial environment that the US exists in, retail investors should have the ability to put their money in Leveraged-Inverse ETFs if they so choose as long as they are aware of the long-term risks of holding such financial products.

Dear Regulators,
It is very important that ordinary investors, including those beginning with modest means. Everyone knows cryptocurrency investing has high risks, just like other investment types, but it also had the potential for immense earnings, and that should not be limited to those already rich.

FINRA,

I am a collegiate graduate in Finance and I understand the risks associated with each of my investments, and you have no right to bar me from these financial instruments. If this was the case, stupid people should be barred from the equity market entirely. This is wrong, and does not exemplify our ownership society.

I feel that I should have the right to choose what public investments I can make. I do not believe that I should need any special qualifications other than those of my broker considering that I am sophisticated enough to make such an investment.

Individuals have the right to take on risk with their assets. It is a silly notion to restrict leveraged funds and short selling. Thank you.

Leave it as it is.

Let the investors make their own choices! Regulators do NOT have the RIGHT or the AUTHORITY to deem what is an acceptable Public investments.

WHY IS IT OK FOR YOU TO GET INSIDER TRADING INFORMATION? NOT OK FOR US TO CHOSE OUR OWN INVESTMENTS?

As an individual investor who relies on leveraged and inverse ETFs to actively monitor and manage short term trading strategies, these instruments are critical to compliment more conventional products while providing desired exposure to targeted segments of the market. Notably, leveraged and inverse ETFs also provide an effective means to hedge other more conventional positions. The risks associated with leveraged and inverse ETFs are clearly identified by their providers and do not require additional regulatory complexity.
