How is this not extreme overreach? Let me invest my own money however I see fit, the government already takes too much.

I should be able to choose what public investments are right for me and there should not be additional regulations in place. I should be able to research, learn, and make my own decisions concerning my personal funds.
Hi, I'm writing with concern that my ability to hedge my portfolio volatility via inverse ETFs is under consideration of being limited or taken away. My only comment is that the ability to hedge downside risk via inverse ETF is one of the few ways other than outright selling to cash that I have to reduce risk in certain environments. In a rising rate environment in particular bonds are unhelpful in this regard, so inverse ETFs provide a direct way to reduce downside risk. Please be careful with any regulation you put on my ability to protect my downside when conditions warrant.
Dear FINRA, I am a former mutual fund manager and current private investor who has utilized many types of ETFs over the years to achieve my investment strategies. I find the leveraged ETFs to be very valuable and straight-forward and do not see the need for restrictions or further regulation. In my mind, the proposed regulations would add undue burden on investors and be a waste of taxpayer money. The only type of ETF that I would restrict or require more disclosure are ETN's with their dependence on the issuer of the note.
Government should be set up so that no man has to fear another. Im not afraid of the financial instruments I buy. Im a military spouse and use my understanding of the SQQQ ticker to time my entry and exit from this instrument. Im concerned that I simply will be shut out from investing in a way that has really worked for us and supplemented my husbands shockingly low wage. Please dont allow yourselves to become gatekeepers excluding the less privileged from investing in a way that works for them.
I am very much opposed to proposed rule #S7-24-15. As an active investor I strongly object to any legislation or rulings which impede my ability to invest in vehicles which I deem beneficial to me. If we limit or prevent our economic freedoms , our political freedoms will soon be limited as well.
I believe I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. 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 me.
It is wrong to limit an investors ability to invest in the future of America is one sees fit. This is not China! I support Capitalism, a concept this country was founded on.
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. Explain that you are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Tell regulators you do not need these measures imposed on you.
This proposed rule is not necessary or needed. You have no right to tell me what or how to invest my money. Nor do you have the right to quiz me or challenge my investments.
