I find it VERY intrusive and limiting to deny individuals with small capital the opportunity to invest in leveraged funds. These funds are professionally managed, providing defined risks to the investor, and should be viewed no differently than a mutual fund with risk and reward based upon a fixed investment strategy that actually limits risk to the investor while providing access to securities that DO require certain pre-conditions like minimum capital to invest. Thats what the FUND does!

To much government over reach.

New traders have to learn their job like anyone else on any other job, and learning about the risks and rewards of leveraged and inverse funds only takes a couple of quick real-life lessons. There is no need to impose a bunch of convoluted rules and regulations on these financial tools that make trading difficult for the rest of us.

I should be able to invest in whatever I want.
I am using leverage funds to hedge my positions. I am using it as part of my diversified portfolio.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on you.

Please leave any regulation changes out of leveraged ETF's, these should be able to be traded by everyone. I use them for a retirement account along with swing trading them and don't want the changes to not allow me to trade them any longer. Regulation is an over-reach effect that only holds free market back, thanks for your time and consideration.

I disagree with the decision restrict the purchase of leveraged ETFs.

I am upset and disappointed that FINRA is considering the placement of limitations on my investment capabilities. Why would you deny me the ability to choose investments that can help me financially? I believe I should have the right to determine if my investment decisions are too "complex" for me. Please don't discriminate against me as an investor.

Public investments should be available to all investors, not just the privileged. I am capable to understanding the risks and making decisions on what is best for my portfolio. All financial decisions have risk, including doing nothing. There is sufficient information presently available in a variety of channels to educate the public of the risks which makes this legislation unnecessary and overly burdensome.

I believe it would be a mistake to reduce access to these popular and useful short to medium term trading funds. There is more than enough information in the market web sites on how to use a x3 fund. Extreme risk lies only on a " black swan" event and these events pose similar risks to all investors. I believe that I have benefited from my use of x2 & x3 funds on the SP500. It would be a shame to have future young investors that are aggressive and assertive deprived of a chance to have "extra" returns. What investment is risk free?

This idea of regulating trades is an overreach against private investors. Where does such power end?
I ask that you abandon this bad idea...thank you
