Comments: I strongly feel that the proposal to limit access to Inverse and leveraged ETFs is ill advised. The investors (like me) who understand how these ETFs work and understand the risk, should be allowed to invest and benefit. Personally I review my investments on daily basis. The risk of investing in certain volatile individual stocks is lot more than investing Inverse and leveraged ETFs. The risk is even more in investing in Options. FINRA should put more effort in education of investors in these instruments. As far as complexity is concerned, option investing is lot more complex.

Comments: I'm an independent trader with about 3 years experience and as a trader or investor it's your job to educate yourself on the products/equities that you're using and it IS NOT THE JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT OF ANY AGENCY TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM THEMSELVES.

Comments: I am a long time investor of L&I products. For 20 years I have used these products to successfully grow my portfolio. In 2008, after having done extensive research on the impending undermining of off balance sheet investments done by banks with mortgage securities, I successfully grew my portfolio, in spite of the professional advice given by traditional brokers. I specifically used an inverse, leveraged etf to do this.

Comments: Investors completely understand products such as leveraged and inverse ETFs. The products require no further regulation FINRA!!!

My primary concern with this notice is the following statement: "whether the current regulatory framework, which was adopted at a time when the majority of individuals accessed financial products through financial professionals, rather than through self-directed platforms, is appropriately tailored to address current concerns raised by complex products and options." The concern is that this will inhibit those of us that have the ability to research and understand the complexity of these investment opportunities and instead create barriers to retail investor wealth - 1) through the ability t

Please DO NOT prevent retail investors from investing/using leveraged or inverse ETFs. If some people are idiots and don't know what they are doing, that is THEIR problem. They should educate themselves and learn about futures, contango and decay. Do not punish educated retail investors using these ETFs to hedge against volatility. Thank you. Regards, Eric

PLEASE PLEASE keep leveraged ETFS!! They have helped me so much - especially during the last downturn in the market.

Comments: As a private investor I have utilized ETFs for about 20 years and leveraged/inverse investment vehicles for approx. 12 years or so. These vehicles (specifically leveraged/inverse ETFs/ETNs) have been extremely helpful to enhance the profitability of my investment portfolio/strategy resulting in protecting my investments when these vehicles are used as hedge instruments, and in trading to generate additional profits (incl. short-term profits) when markets, a commodity, a sector, etc. show greater volatility and tend to move stronger in one or the other direction.

Comments:leveraged ETFs are investments through legitimate brokers and are described in exquisite detail in their literature. Warnings pop up whenever trying to execute a trade. That should be enough for any investor to be informed completely. Any more is an example of government getting into what should be my private affaires. Please leave the leveraged products alone. Thank You
