I periodically use inverse mutual funds and ETFs to my advantage. I have a high net worth, and over 25 years experience trading. I do not need the SEC to restrict or control my access to any investments. I clearly understand the risks, and use ETFs appropriately.

I 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 shouldn't have to go through any special processlike passing a test before I can invest in public securities,like leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged and inverse funds areimportantto my investment strategies. Why would you take away my rights as an investor to partake in leveraged funds? The SEC is protecting hedge funds and screwing retail over with this possible action!

This attempt at limiting my ability to invest and trade is outrageous. This is regulatory over reach that assumes we are unable to make our own informed decisions about our investment portfolios. Please consider that my family and I should be able to choose unfettered, which investments are best for us. We should not be burdened with a special and arbitrary process. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment process and objectives. We are quite capable understanding their risks and benefits.

Do not steal my ability to invest in products that are available to institutional investors

Please don't do this. Having access to these etfs protected my retirement during the latest market sell off. If they weren't available then I would have lost at least 15% of my retirement savings. The risks of these etfs can be moderated by keeping a small position size. Anyone with common sense should know this. Thank you.

I have invested in inverse funds and find them to be a useful tool for my investment goals. I should be able to choose investments that I choose and not be 'disqualified' from any investment. For all the investments I make, I am aware of the risks and am able to utilize those different investment options. In particular, I have used inverse funds in the past and have found them to be useful to capture higher returns for my portfolio. Do not bar any class of investors from any types of investment.

Everyone should have the right to use their hard earned money towards any investment they believe in. Just as it would be unlawful to restrict certain groups of people towards byting

Its extremely hurtful that FINRA regulators are taking away my ability and freedom to invest in complex funds . Most of the middle class whose daily struggle is to save money and take informed help is being taken away by this step

I oppose additional regulations.

It is the investors duty to make sure they perform they fulfill their due diligence on the stocks they are going to invest. Most of the trading platforms warn the investor about the nature and volatility risks of these stocks already. There is no need for extreme oversight as such. They should put these regulations in action for the gambling industry if they want to protect the consumers/retail traders as the risk of loss is much higher than the stocks!
