Don't increase stifling rules on trading. These rules won't help to democratize financial services but make them more elite.

My wife and I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for our family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. We 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 are fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks, and we do NOT need these measures imposed on us.

Please allow my to continue my use of inverse funds

All financial market participants should be able to make their own investment choices. There are already too many restrictions on net worth allowing the rich to make investments that others cannot access. We dont need FINRA or any other government agency to tell us what to invest in and what not to invest in. Vanguard is already doing this and I am taking my business to another brokerage. Also, Investors should not have to go through any special process like passing a test to be allowed to invest in publicly traded securities. We don't need this.

Please do not pass this. I do not agree.

Please don't regulate these investments and prevent me from using them. They allow me access and ability to hedge more easily. Without these I would subject to market fluctuations and more at risk. This will likely increase my risk and not reduce it.

If this regulation is necessary why wouldn't every investment require a similar set of regulations? Why not a test for every investment - including the US Dollar? I would much prefer that you mandated a test for the right to vote. BTW - I also know that if I spill burning hot coffee on myself it will hurt. Do we need to add a detachable form to hot-cups acknowledging the purchaser's understanding of the dangers that may be hidden inside if the cup is sufficiently weighty that one might expect it to contain a hot liquid?

Why when the market going up like a bubble, but there are no issues to purchase it, and now people know there is uncertainty in the economy then it's not okay to purchase it??

Please understand the consequences of the proposed rule, I need flexibility on investment opportunities and this rule could stop my ability to determine my own investing strategy. I don't need a certification to make the right decision on how I should invest my own money. My money, my risk, no need for anyone else to be involved. Please do not overact because some people play the market and lose their money, the risks are clearly spell out and pretending ignorance when losing money cannot be accepted. Thank you!

While investor restrictions/limitations with regard to leveraged funds might appear to somehow help investors (I guess protecting them from themselves), it would actually hurt me and others that I know. I am not a high wealth individual but have taken the time to learn how all ETFs work, including leveraged funds. They have become an important element of my investment strategy. I do not need this protection- it would only harm me.
