It is not right to tell people what they can or cannot do. We the public should have the right to buy what we please for our investments. It is our money and not yours.

leave it alone

Dear FINRA,

I David teague oppose limitations on my investments , no one should tell me what I can invest in.

Leveraged and inverse funds are an important part of my investment strategy.

Hello, I would like the ability to invest in inverse and leveraged products without using derivative securities directly. Taking away that right would only limit retail ability to take advantage of certain exposures.

Please do not limit my ability to profit from market drops just as I would from market rises. It seems unfair for the little guy (me) to not be able to profit from all market directions like the big guys can. I understand the risks and trade accordingly. Any restrictions need to be applied to all directions, up and down, and to EVERYONE!

I have been heavily investing in Leveraged ProShares ETF's over the past 6 months. This is a personal investment of my own funds and is VERY important to my investment portfolio currently. By implementing radical restrictions to these now would GREATLY damage my investment value instantly. That would directly result in my taking huge losses as my investments in these ETF's are based on my theories on the rise/fall of the ETF's over a period of time.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
Anybody should be able to choose public investments that are right for them.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I have the knowledge and experience to choose the public investment that I believe are the most appropriate for myself. Public investments should be available to all US citizens, no exceptions, and not only the privileged. I do use leveraged ETFs as a very small part of my overall portfolio for the purpose of enhanced returns. I did spend a lot of time learning about leveraged ETFs before using them as an investment. I should not have to go through any special process, of any kind, to be able to invest in leveraged ETFs.
