I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I 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 Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. Leverage and inverse funds, help me protect (hedge) my investments to seek enhanced returns.

This is a ridiculous restriction. Let me get this straight. You will allow me to buy unlimited amounts of lottery tickets - almost mathematically guaranteed to lose me all my money in over 99% probability - but you don't want to permit me to spend my own money on investments that allow me to make money when the markets are collapsing. This is a serious restriction of personal liberties.

Attn. FINRA: I oppose any limitations on my ability to buy these types of Funds as leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I should be able to choose the public investments that I consider to be correct for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few. As a seasoned investor I understand the risks!!! I shouldn't have to be required to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, such as leveraged and inverse funds.

the system right now is set up for me perfectly since I am a inverse trader. it is a trading system I use instead of shorting stocks which if I had to like most inverse traders would defiantly do along with day trading which in my opinion would cause havoc on quality stocks and the market and also would cause a lot of traders to go into options were a lot of traders would get hurt financially. I encourage you too leave the system as is to keep the market as stable as possible at this time.

It's none of your [REDACTED] business what assets I chose to invest in. [REDACTED] -Average American

I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest! I am able to choose public investments that are right for me and my family! I see no reason for you to restrict my use of them as I understand their risks! I don't need nor do I want your ways imposed upon me regarding leveraged and inverse funds which are important to my investment strategies. They are desirable even as a limited part of my portfolio.

I do not need anyone to limit my own investments

I am a 74 years old retired COL USArmy with a Masters degree. I do not need a [REDACTED] nanny state to tell me when, in what, and how much to invest in what every investment I wish. It is my money to loss or gain. So [REDACTED]!! PS Do something import [REDACTED]!!

I know you guys are trying to justify your bureaucratic existence, but please stop pretending to protect investors from themselves with these silly rules. You are barking up the wrong tree here. If you REALLY want to help small investors, start investigating all the manipulation going on by the BIG DOGS and do something about THAT!!!!

To Whom it May Concern. I do not like the current SEC to be changing the rules. In a democracy, people should have a right to invest their money as they see fit. Government is not responsible to protect people from everything. In the world of the financial markets, investors must follow the rule of Caveat Emptor. If government becomes too regulatory in a capitalist economy, then it is no longer a capitalist economy. Leave well enough alone.
