To whom it may concern:
As both a financial advisor and individual investor, I am concerned that rules proposed by FINRA will limit my access to financial tools that are important to my portfolio and investing strategies. This includes leveraged and inverse funds that I use to increase my exposure and potential for gains without risking additional capital. These products are important tools that allow me to manage risk on my terms.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I should not need to go through any special process
before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

Leveraged and inverse funds are a limited part of my portfolio, they play an important role in of investment strategies. They allow me to protect my other investments.

I know what I am doing in investing. Government has NO BUSINESS budding into my financial affairs under the guise of 'protecting me'. I should not have to go through special process. You are not my Mom or Dad. I am more informed, MBA PhD than most of your regulators. I have invested in leveraged funds successfully for over 30 years. I do not need government (uneducated) to educate me or protect me. These are the results of appointing Socialist leftist by a socialist leftist government, trying to destroy free enterprise, free choice, work ethics, attempting force everyone into comrades.

STOP overreach. Folks should be able to invest their money however they want. Stop doing things simply to justify the existence of your job.

I am requesting that retail investors like myself retain the ability to invest in leverage and inverse funds. These types of funds will continue to exist, why limit them only to affluent investors through professional firms? I utilize these funds to protect and balance my portfolio as a hedge against downturns and also to realize higher ratio returns without having to buy on margin. My Fidelity brokerage account offers plenty of data and information for each of these investments. I know what I am getting myself into.

I am sick of the nazi tactics this illegal administration is pulling and getting away with it!!

Every Investment is at your own risk. That's why they call it Investing.

The more we let all people invest or do whatever....then America will be the great nation if freedom it began as. Freedom to choose.

Many investors, including myself, occasionally use inverse and leveraged ETF's in our investment portfolios. Please do not take away this option. All it will accomplish is making the little guy have even less options than before.

Please give us the right to invest.
