I've been investing in the stock markets, bond market, I've traded options and futures as well as currencies for 4 decades, and I do not want to be limited in any way as it relates to investing for example in the stock market if I decide I want to leverage long or short positions or use inverse funds to reach my investment goals. I've been doing this for over 40 years now, and I feel I've earned the right to make that decision myself. To that end I do not believe that any restrictions are warranted as are being proposed in the SEC's proposed rule #S7-24-15.

I believe that I should have the right to choose how & where I invest, not some regulator who restricts my investment choices, and I shouldn't have to go through any special process before I can invest in public securities, such as inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding inverse funds and I don't want or need to have these draconian measures imposed on me. Inverse ETFs are an important part of my investment strategy: I know the risks and I want the regulators to butt out of my private affairs.

Do Not Violate our rights to make investment decisions. Enough is enough of your interference in our lives.

Dear SEC, I'm vehemently opposed to Rule #S7-24-15, as it limits the available securities to the public which are within their right to own. As a licensed investment advisor, we already provide the expertise to our clients to explain leveraged and inverse funds as investments. Specifically, these are not recommended for every client, but can be quite useful for clients as a hedge, and should be available to the investor without a steep set of criteria that limits the market breadth and increases risk by reducing real market forces.

There is no reason for the government to regulate these, no one is forced to buy them, they make a choice. Stay out of it.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to our investment strategies. For over 20 years, my family has used leverage and inverse funds, as they help us to protect our investments or seek enhanced returns, and we use them as a major part of your overall portfolio. My family and I strongly oppose restrictions on our right to invest in these public investments.

In today's investing landscape, it's important that regular people have access to leveraged and inverse funds. As the market is falling, the only saving grace to my portfolio has been leveraged and inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. If I so choose to buy them regardless, that is my choice and my right. I don't need regulators to save me from myself. Me, not the regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.

It's especially important regulators hear from you in your own words. Please use the body of this email to customize your response. Regulators should serve the public interest not control how they invest. This is "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave"

I want my ETFs inverse or levereaged!!!

Are you people out of your mind? The market is going down, the economy is bad, a negative GDP number today, and buying inverse ETFs is the way people can protect themselves from falling asset prices and being put out of work. Why in the world are you doing this now? It seems like a desperate move to keep the market from reaching lows. You are not helping me. You are hurting me, and I do not want you FINRA people involved in this at all. Are you people willing to put your money where your mouth is and pay me if the market does go down and you prohibit me from buying it?
