As if the deep state/ruling class doesn't already exhibit too much unfair, restrictive controlling policies intentionally designed to favor themselves and eliminate all poor and working-class citizens. This measure is yet another attempted move of intentional genocide, plain and simple. It's appalling, contemptible and requires public exposure, condemnation and shame.

Leveraged index funds of the Nasdaq and S&P are the single most important long-term investment option in the market today. They provide retail investors with the opportunity to make life changing returns and subjugating "ordinary people" to invest in non-leveraged index funds or mutual funds is an extreme act of Authoritarianism and the certain death of the Middle Class.

There should be no one and or no government state or federal that should be allowed to tell those who desire to invest to put restrictions on it. There is always a note clearly stating that there is risk involved with all investments. Let the FINRA continue to safeguard the investing public against fraud and bad practices.

I would like to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities of my choice and would oppose any new restrictions to my right to invest.

My experience investing has been limited to my own money from my retirement savings and having NO FORMAL education in investing. (I am 73 yrs old and my occupation was that of an Audiologist.) When the Federal Reserve over-extends credit causing inflation, I have to make up for my losses due to that inflation. One avenue is to short treasury notes via TBT and that vehicle has been a very successful investment choice for short periods of time. I DO NOT want the Federal Government taking away my options to invest. I didn't cause the inflation; the poor policies of the Federal Reserve did.

All public investments should be available to all citizens. The trouble is the descriptions.

A public investment should have TWO publicly available descriptors of the investment. One is the "traditional" huge info dump which admittedly presents comprehension issues to novices. So, add a SECOND discription, dumbed down to the important numbers (risk probabilities, etc.) for the novice, and referring to points in the huge document as reference detail.

Please don't allow this to happen

I believe that my family and I should have the ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds without government regulators making that decision for us. We understand the risks inherent with these types of funds and we use them as a portion of our portfolio of investments to hedge against market drops. There is no reason anyone should have to go through a special process, like passing a test, to choose these types of investments. Please dont impose regulatory measure like these on the public as these public investments should be available to ALL the public.

While I appreciate FINRAs attempt to protect investors from the Martha Stewarts and Michael Millikans of the world I would remind you I am an adult. I made the money and I chose to invest it how I want and I am offended that an institution of regulation would choose to shackle the people its meant to serve to financial servitude of large institutions and limit our freedom of choice to a pre approved set of funds.
This rule is financial bigotry and FINRA should be ashamed that it was even proposed.

Less US government involvement
in the private sector, including investments.
