It is not the responsibility of an outside party to decide what is best for me or my family. They have no knowledge of me or my situation. It is my responsibility to review, assess risk and act in my best interest. To that end all risks and rewards are my own. Please stay out and stop the over regulation and coddling based on your need to control and "protect the less/under informed". You primarily only end up hurting the regular people. I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family.

This is an example of government overreach. As long as the products themselves are following banking requirements, investors should be allowed to assess their own level of risk.

Dear FINRA Regular retail investors should not be precluded from access to leveraged investment products. By only allowing institutions to use leveraged investment vehicles you are discriminating against individuals and preventing them from using all of the tools in the investment tool kit. Life is risky, individuals do not need to be protected from themselves by the government. Instead you should be focused on education to ensure the risks are better understood. Feel free to contact me directly for a more thorough explanation of my perspective.

Dear Sir or Madam: I am an adult. I understand the risks. I want to invest my Money as I see fit. Leave the laws alone.

I would like to have the option to choose on what I want to invest in.

I don't see a need to regulate these types of investments, However I Do see a need to regulate those who cause unnecessary regulation!

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST

Inverse funds serve an important function to hedge investment portfolios. By precluding retail investors from doing so, it is locking out this class of investor from having any form of protection during periods of down markets. It is inconceivable that in the U.S. there is a proposal to preclude investors from being able to decide what they do with their own finances. Why are high net worth individuals given special privileges? You are putting the retirement investments of tens of millions of Americans at risk by not allowing them the right to protect their portfolios.

No reason to penalize everyone for a few bad apples. I use inverse ETF's during times when the stock market is going down to balance out (hedge against) losses and so I can hold on to my winners. If the inverse ETF's are subject to special processes beyond the usual rules for all stocks, this would be unfair.

Stop with the over regulation
