Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me to protect and hedge my investments or seek enhanced returns.

To FINRA

Please let investor select their own choice. Let investor know the product information and the included risks

I do not support this proposal. This would severely limit my investing freedom.

I oppose limitations on my investments.

Please let investor select their own choice. Let investor know the product information and the included risks

Please stop deciding what is best for the individual investor. Let us choose.

Please let people make their own choices. If the funds are not illegal, consumers should be able to purchase for their own reasons. For me, it's part of a balanced strategy. It allows me to have a variety of different fund types, of which leveraged is just a small, but important portion.

It is not the role of regulators to allow what investors can or should invest in. Regulators should however look at conflicts of interest, such as congressmen and women trading individual stocks. Dont limit the options of everyday investors who are already at a disadvantage. Regulate the advantaged (make hedge funds report more information, ban individual stock trades for congress, etc.) and leave the disadvantaged alone.

I own an inverse fund that would be subject to the new FINRA 22-08 regulations if implemented. I object to those regulations. I fail to see why I or anyone else should have to jump throw new hoops to own any inverse fund. My reasons for owning it may be unorthodox I want to own something, less than 1% of my investments actually, that goes up when everything else crashes, so that I dont despair but it works. Please dont take that away from me which could well be what all the testing and other requirements would do. An inverse fund is like insurance against depression to me.
