I stand firmly oppossed to these proposed regulations. These regulations are not of safety to investors. No, these regulations are about removing investors out of the playing and therefore creating exclusivity to those who qualify under the the rubrick of an elite few.

The types of investments that could potentially be impacted by SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 is lengthy and diverse, including Leveraged and Inverse Funds, and can legitimately be incorporated as part of a comprehensive investment strategy. These are publicly traded instruments and I am an experienced, educated, and informed investor. I should NOT need to jump through additional hoops to be "allowed" to invest MY money in strategies that I believe best protect my total investment pool and enhance my likelihood of growing my investment.

Maybe it should be illegal to borrow money for leveraged or inverse trading but otherwise I see no need to stop it.

Dear Sirs. If you remove the ability for mature adults to invest in these "overly complex" vehicles, than you should also make craps and roulette illegal at gambling establishments. To me it's insulting that you believe the majority of investors (such as myself) do not do due diligence before putting money into any non-traditional investment portfolio. Thank You!

FINRA has no business or right to regulate or limit the products in which private investors place funds. I understand and accept the risks of my investments in all types of funds. They are my funds to invest, not yours. An investment prospectus is sufficient to inform investors of the objectives and risks of any investment. Attempting to regulate who can and cannot invest in any fund, based on an arbitrary set of rules, is discriminatory and illegal. Stick to advising your member firms on self-regulation. Stay out of decisions that should only be made by individual investors.

I absolutely oppose the regulations to limit inverse or leveraged funds. I am a citizen of what used to be a free country, and really resent the government intrude on my personal financial decisions. If you want to EDUCATE people on investments, that is fine, but the final decision rests with me. I fully intend to find which legislators support such regulation, and vote against them and both fund and vote for legislators who will respect my integrity and freedom.

Dear FINRA, If you change the rules so late in the game it's not fair. It's not fair for investors and even more so for those already invested. If investors can't buy it, how on earth am I going to sell it? I have losses so I am not even going to profit just get back where I was. Somebody got that money I paid; don't I have the right to get it back? It works both ways...you are hurting the invested by hurting future investors. I am a contrarian.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS . All public Investment instruments should be accessible to us, not only the privilege or rich.

I should be able to chose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all the public, not just the privileged Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and I do not need any passing tests before Investing in public securities like inverse funds. I use leveraged and inverse funds to protect my investments.

Every person / investor has the right to their money and choice on what they decide to invest in. It is unethical to take that right away from the common investor.
