Gatekeeping is inequitable. Its SEC #S7-24-15 further institutionalizes inequities, creating even more hindrances for working class investors.

I humbly request that you maintain the present regulations so that I may freely choose the best investments for my portfolio. I have no problem understanding the present leveraged and inverse funds . They are an important tool in my tool chest. Thank you

Let everyone invest

WoW! Last I understood, capitalism and the right to individually flourish in the U.S.A. was available to everyone. My mother came here legally for this reason, and so I can benefit from my own efforts here as well. If my funds disappear due to my lack understanding or misjudgment, THAT is my decision to make and no one else's. This proposed rule is highly elitist. Public trading should be FOR THE PUBLIC. Also, don't the high profile traders need the little people to drive trade volume? I urge you to reconsider this proposal. Thank you.

Do not restrict my ability to choose the public investments that I decide to buy/sell. I have been investing for over 30 years and am completely capable of making my own choices without the help of a registered broker. I use both leveraged and inverse funds when I deem them advantageous to my investing plan. I know how to place stops, sell, etc when I do not want them in my portfolio. I have the ability to limit my risk.......it is my right to make my investment decisions as I have done for 30 years, most of them without a financial representative.

Along with most investors, I am fully capable of understanding the risks of leveraged and inverse funds. Additional regulation is NOT needed.

I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds. Before retiring I was a Series 24 Registered Securities Principal. I have a MS degree in wealth management and I earned the MPAS and CFP designations. I do not need FINRA telling me what I can and cannot invest in.

I should have a right to be able to invest without going through special classes or having a cool-off period.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST It is me not regulators that should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public -- not just the privileged. I have the right to share my views, but the regulators are required to take your comments into consideration in deciding whether to move forward. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.

We should have ability to trade leveraged etfs .
