Please do not ban leveraged ETFS. We invest responsibly. Thanks

I oppose changing regulations for levered ETFs/ETNs. The products are a preferred alternative to options or margin trading. This also creates a slippery slope for more regulatory overreach. It is already difficult enough to get approval to trade certain types of options. Many brokerage firms require certain experience, but how can you get experience if you arent allowed to trade them? New training can be gamed and people will develop workarounds.

Leveraged ETF's allow me to mitigate downside risk in my long term holdings. It's important that I be allowed access to these instruments. Thank You

I believe us as investors should have the freedom to choose the investments that fit our objectives and risk appetite. No special requirements should be implemented in order to do this. I see leveraged and inverse ETFs as an alternative to stock derivatives in my portfolio.

Been trading for 14 years no changes needed.

Investors, not regulators should be able to choose what is right for their portfolios.

Inverse and leverage securities have already been approved and listed, with significant amounts of disclosure and educational material easily available.

Changing who can invest after these have been listed is not acceptable and can adversely impact existing ETF holders.

I know and accept the risks involved with leveraged funds. It should be my personal choice to invest in these funds. I fully oppose any more regulation on a free market system.

Why would my investment options and rights be limited

This proposal is just another attempt to restrict the options, retail investors have to invest in the market. Large institutions have always had a clear advantage, privy to information first, flash trading etc. Restricting retail investor's ability to short or long the markets using these types of vehicles is, once again giving the institutions the upper hand in playing in a field they already mostly control. I am completely aware of my risks when I trade with these levered products. Specifically, the inverse funds allow shorting in a simple fashion.

Dear Finra, I believe this is government overreach and investors should have the right to purchase or sell any securities they wish with their hard earned money. Please leave people to live their lives in peace while pursuing happiness and success in life.
