I would like to make my point why this regulation does not benefit or protect consumers the way FINRA might think:

Leveraged ETF's:

Getting a loan for a mortgage by putting % as down payment is also a leveraged product, not complex at all, are you going to regulate that too? Should people read or pass a test to buy a house? Even more, this is all my MY MONEY not the banks', let me invest it as I see fit.

Volatility funds:

Comments:I have traded L&I ETFs in the past. My broker's website asked me to first declare intentions for my account that were consistent with L&I products (short term and actively monitored.) I feel this was more than sufficient to dissuade any uninformed investor that didn't know what they were getting into. I don't want to be "protected" from these funds. I want to be able to continue to make informed investment decisions.

The right to choose goes across all boards! Stop governmental interference in personal choice!

College my, home ownership, having a family are now all unattainable to the average American and now you want to cut off the American public from investing. Soon the people of this country will come for you expect a back lash on par with the French revolution if you continue to squeeze the average man in this country. You ineffective joke of a human being!

Who are you to say what is too "complex" for the average person to trade? Why take away a legitimate tool to help us hedge down turns with inverse funds or make up for losses with leveraged funds? Brokers already require we read documents and know the risks associated.

How about you worry about something that actually matters like naked short selling, short selling in general, or dark pooling? Leave the little guy alone, we are the least of your problems.

Comments: as a retail investor there are much fewer tools at my disposal when it comes to managing risk and constructing the right portfolio. Leveraged ETFs and ETPs are critical in that process.

This is the height of arrogance of straight white men to assume that we are not sophisticated enough to understand inverse ETF's or variable annuities. Stop your Sexist actions now.

It's our business how we invest our money and I'm sure anyone out there having problems will talk to a specialist to help them if needed. Don't take our American dream away just because you can. Thank you for taking the time to read this, have a good day.

Do not impose restrictions on our ability as investors to chose simple complex or any kind of of public investment we chose. Who gives you the right to control or attempt to control our ability to invest? I want a list of names of who the regulators are, so I can post their names individually online to my investment group. We need to vote them out!

Do not restrict my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, or otherwise presume to know what I should or should not invest in.
