I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Public investments should be available to the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities.

To Whom it may concern: I do not think any obstacles (or new/further obstacles) should be placed between investors of all kinds and the ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds, and other types of products that allow investors to bet not only for, but also against, various securities, sectors of the market, debt instruments, etc.

Inverse and leveraged securities are critical to an investor's ability to hedge portfolios and/or have an opportunity to make money in down or volatile markets, such as the one we are in right now. Without these ETFs, the only options we have for hedging are buying puts or short selling, which is infinitely more dangerous to the retail trader than owning an inverse/leveraged fund. By taking away my right to use these securities, you are limiting my investing options to long positions only, and removing my ability to protect any profits earned from those positions.

Leveraged and reverse products are very important to me. I use them to hedge the rest of my portfolio, especially in times of high volatility. I believe These products should remain widely available and I be allowed to use them with no delay

This rule is ridiculous, just another attempt to keep poor people poor and the rich, rich. It's a shame that the so-called American dream has turned into a nightmare.

It's none of you business how people invest. You should have no authority to limit the free market choices of individual investors.

To whom it may concern I respectfully disagree with any legislation that restricts either the access or the outright ability for me to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I do my research and I understand the risks. I understand how to invest in these as part of a larger strategy. Please do not remove the rights of people like myself who independently do the work and choose to invest in these types of securities.

Leveraged and inverse funds are not something I stumbled into by accident; they are a small but carefully chosen part of my portfolio. I should be able to choose the investments that are right for be without having to waste time and effort trying to secure the permission of government regulators.

I am a small investor who needs the opportunity to prevent losses due to changes in the stock market. Taking away ability to protect my assets will severely impact my ablity to support myself and my family. Public investments, such as the ones FINRA is proposing to impose special requirements on, should be available to all Americans and not for just the privileged. The proposed changes to #S7-24-15 will limit my right to freely protect and enhance my overall portfolio. Please don't restrict the individual investor by imposing the restrictions there in.

Gentlemen; I and not regulators should be making my investments decisions! I should not be required to go thru a special process to make my investment decisions Leveraged and Inverse funds are important to my investment decisions Live and let live, Respecto,
