I am opposed to FINRA establishing boundaries / restrictions on my ability to trade leveraged and indexed funds without meeting certain "educational", experiential, net worth, etc. criteria. I will definitely encourage and join any class action suit if FINRA takes any such steps and have several General Counsels and Pillsbury Shaw Pittman to work with.

Please allow me to continue to choose the public investments

You may think you're protecting people, but what this regulation will actually do, is keep the poor, poor, and keep the rich, rich. One way us people of lower classes can get ahead, is to learn advanced trading techniques. By making limits to 'high net worth individuals" you are perpetuating a cast system in this country. Stop treating us like children.

I value disclosure and transparency, but do not feel that I should be restricted from investments based on the governments assessment of my capability to understand financial products.

These proposed restrictions on my ability as a lifetime worker and saver is a clear example of overreaching regulation that could deny me to invest my savings in securities through my brokerage account. I primarily invest in American companies, do not day trade and do at times invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I understand the risks of investing and have spent time and considerable money to educate myself about markets and purchased research services. Do not treat me or fellow Americans as children.

To whom may concern. Short stock ETFs are an important part of my portfolio. They help offset losses when market goes down. I dont have the knowledge to short stock on my own. Please keep the ETF for the regular investor.

Please DO NOT block regular investors from investing in leverage funds. All investors should be allowed to choose what they will invest in for themselves and their families. Leverage and inverse funds are important and provide another avenue for portfolio growth. I have invested in funds such as UVXY and it has been very effective and profitable. Please allow me to continue to do this to grow my portfolio as I approach retirement. Thanks.

I use TQQQ and SQQQ quite a bit. Don't want to see them go away.

Right, just let the rich use the inverse funds. Typical bull [REDACTED].

These leverage and inverse investments products are important tools in my portfolio. I can use these to protect my investments in different ways. I should not have to go through special processes and be limited in the tools Availlable to me as an investor. Please do not restrict retail investors and put us at a disadvantage vs investments banks, hedge funds and others.
