I am absolutely opposed to regulators choosing what I can/can't invest in for me. These measures do not need to be imposed on the public for their protection - it is a simple overreach of authority/power in an area it is not needed. Make educational materials readily available with updated information that allows people to make educated decisions and treat Americans like free adults instead of incapable children.

Im a college student so I dont have much, and Ive been investing with different platforms to secure my future. However if I cant invest in whatever company I choose, then that is ridiculous. If some investment choices are locked up to me especially because of my net worth then that is a huge infringement on my rights and I wont stand for it. Again Im a college student so I dont have much financially, but I ought to have the right to work against that.

Dear FINRA, I am very concerned that you are considering regulating how I can and cannot choose to invest. There is already heavy language used when an individual chooses to invest in a leveraged and/or inverse fund. Some of these funds are direct hedges to other investments an individual might have. Choice is something that is American. We do not live in a place where the government gets to make or limit our investment choices. Next thing you know the government will be deciding what house I can live in, whether I get to buy the car I want, what job I might be able to have.

I think this should be maintained due to our overall market sentiment

Why is it the govt feels the need to over tax and limit citizens right to make money? Maybe we should tax politicians or be able to fire you for the [REDACTED] job you are currently doing. Based on that Im supposed to believe you have my best interest in mind?

Stay out of my strategy please! I have been using leveraged ETF's for a long time and I understand the risk so please keep your hands off! Best regards

Please refrain from adding more regulations to try to protect me. I do my own research and am fully capable of determining what is appropriate. Leveraged and inverse funds are very important to have available and I have used them successfully.

Preventing average retail investors like myself from leverge and inverse equities causes both great harm and disadvantage. Prevent the smaller players in the market from maximizing profits and hedging to balance out losses. Doing so would force greater risk trades by leaving investors such as myself with dangerous decisions such as shorting equities which can easily cause greater losses than total. It is much safer to long and inverse equity.

I oppose restrictions to my rights to invest. The game is already stacked against the small investors and these proposed rules will only make it more difficult for us. You are only creating a barrier to entry for individuals to protected the walled garden of the ultra-rich. Leveraged and inverse products give an opportunity to hedge and protect our investments and you are effectively taking away the ability to do so for many, many people by implementing this plan. Please don't do it.

As an investor I am aware of the risks and practice due diligence when investing. Inverse funds play an important role in my personal investment strategies. I hedge the markets during times of volatility with Proshares "VIXY" and earn a constant flow of income with options of this instrument. With all investments there is risk, I have been investing for over 30 years and I accept the risk involved. I ask that you please do not add restrictions to how I personally invest.
