Public investments should be available to all of the public with restrictions only imposed by a brokerage. Investors should not have to go through any special process before they can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds, except those imposed by respective brokerages. As markets face economic uncertainties and the likelihood of increased volatility in the near and long term it is even more crucial that leveraged and inverse funds can be liberally utilized by investors per their respective investment strategies.

I wholly oppose any legislation that inhibits my ability to buy and sell public investments that I deem appropriate for myself.

Dear FINRA , I oppose legislation restricting my right to invest in leveraged funds.

Against this rule.

To whom it may concern: The list of proposed funds/investments considered for restrictions seems a bit excessive. Personally I would agree to do require restrictions on double and triple leveraged funds and anything crypto, but ETNs and Global Real Estate?

I have been using leveraged & inverse ETF for several years. I understand the risks involved. These ETFs allow me to profit with the large players. The inverse ETF allow me to effectively short equities inside my IRA. I have a self directed IRA. Removing the ability to use leveraged & inverse ETFs will reduce my investment gains

Does FINRA only wish to cater to the "RICH CATS" of Wall Street? ETFs are a Godsend to smaller investors, WHOM can NOT open $1 Million + accounts with Goldman Sachs, or Morgan Stanley....and get special privileges (edges) like getting 1st dibs on new IPOs etc. NOW, inverse funds are under review so SMALL fry WILL NOT be allowed to 'short' sectors of the markets? MUST we all NOW BORROW funds from brokers if we wish to HOLD overnight (or many nights) of a SHORT interest in an ETF? We'lll ALL have to SHORT the individual stocks, represented in the ETFs???

These proposed regulations are totally ridiculous!

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

This is an insult to all investors out there like myself who hold these funds. We are VERY capable of what we are getting into & do not need these measure imposed on us. Public investments should be available to ALL, not only the privileged!
