I invest and trade in my Roth IRA account. The IRS prohibits any short positions in an IRA thus eliminating any opportunity of arbitrage except by using inverse mutual funds. Prohibiting investment in leveraged or inverse funds would cause investors like me great harm. I believe that I understand them well enough to avoid common pitfalls. In years past I held Series 6, 7 and 24 licenses and for a while served as president of a bank-related brokerage firm.

This proposed rule is absurd. Let Americans make their own investment decisions without special credentials. We know the risks when we make investments!

We don't need your help. anyone who trades should be responsible for their own actions. These ETFs are not complex, individuals just fail to take the few minutes to read the information that each ETF provider is required to provide. Retail investors don't need your protection because we are so stupid and unable to understand "complex" ETF's. Thanks for the belittling comment.

We are free to invest what we want to invest.

Why on earth would you regulate this product away from the retail investor? Some of us are sophisticated investrs and if I choose to put my money in something its on me to protect myself from it not you. Clearly there Hass to be something more important for this regulatory body to, please find it and leave my investments alone

We should be able to invest in what we want to without interference from the government or its regulators.

The Federal government and its regulators have no right to curtail investors decisions on what underlying securities they can trade. This is a direct attack on a free fair market.

Do not limit my access to all forms of investments

This is a risk I take every day knowing what I am doing. Please don't make me go through more obstacles.

Investors need financial freedom to invest in inverse and leveraged ETFs. FINRA needs to respect the publics freedom of risk appetite and not subject the members of the public who are experienced and educated individuals to extensive regulation that can harm our long run returns and financial well being
