Comments: Protecting retail investors shouldn't go so far as acting in loco parentis.

Comments: Dear FINRA, I fully understand the composition and risks associated with complex leveraged funds. They are short term in nature and utilize complex derivatives, mostly swaps which may or may not be regulated by public markets. They are an excellent way of maximizing short-term returns when identifying a correct short-term trend in a particular market sector. After voicing concern many years ago about the impact of potentially having private derivatives affecting public companies, my concerns were ignored by both the SEC and PCAOB at the time.

Investment should be okay for everyone.

I do not need a regulator to tell me what I can invest in or not, unless there is clear evidence that there is insufficient market competition, market failure or market inefficiency. I use a portion of leveraged funds to either hedge my overall portfolio, or to enhance my returns, depending on where the market stands at a given time. As an almost-fulltime personal investor, I am well-versed in the workings of the market and its investment vehicles, and don't need a regulator to work on my behalf, at the risk of possibly interfering with or inhibit my results.

The world currency system is changing.............. and cryptocurrency funds is one of the systems for investment.

It's Absolutely Rediculous.We as a FREE PEOPLE have the right to direct our money any way we see fit including investing our money in whatever way we see fit.The SOCIALIST DemoRats are becoming more,and more COMMUNISTIC and if we allow them to take away our RIGHTS we will never get them back EVER!!!!!!!!!

Please allow me, and not regulators to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.

Everyone should have their right to invest at their own free will in any public investment. There is always risk in any investment, not just in the leveraged and inverse funds. Everyone who invests knows the risk its our right to make our good or bad decisions while investing in something we believe. Therefore I oppose to this regulation.

Stop meddling in; what we as Americans can or cannot invest in. This is complete overreach. You should not be allowed to be diictators and America is not a communist countryyet anyway.

To whom it may concern,

Please stop trying to tie the hands of lawful citizens trying to improve their lives by freely investing in the financial markets that have turn the United States into the greatest creator of wealth the world has ever seen. Your proposed regulations would harm working class Americans and raise costs for everyone all because you cant stand not having power over an area of the economy. Kindly back off and focus your efforts on how you can spend your budget more efficiently and cut costs so that taxpayer money can be put to better use.
