Taking away investor rights to risk management assets like leveraged and inverse funds is robbing investors of income and simple tools which can only be emulated with complex options transactions if at all. Such regulation Hurts Investors: It could potentially deny us the freedom to choose investments that could help us achieve long-term financial security. Is Arbitrary and Unworkable: FINRAs definition of complex products is so broad, arbitrary and vague that it could ensnare a vast number of commonly used public securities.

Individual investors chose their own vehicles to invest in.....not the government

I oppose any restriction on my right to invest. Thanks.

Just like I can take a risk on a stock going up, I should likewise be able to take a risk on it going down. Seems like you want to be able to control the market up by flooding us with artificial stimulus ( I consider this endless counterfeiting of our currency) and artificially low interest rates by further increasing our national debt to ridiculous levels but you don't want to suffer the consequences of this limiting our ability to counteract your excesses the way a market is supposed to function. This is [REDACTED]

Leveraged and inverse funds are important part of hedging my portfolio. Sometimes you just need something to inverse Elon Musk momentum plays. Thanks!

There are so many areas where government actions are needed. Except for illegal actions Investors should not be limited .

Leverage is only option for small investors to hedge our long term investment. Otherwise the small investors will have no easy way to hedge their investments since we dont have big money to hedge our investments. Please do not close leverage investments options. Thanks

I'm a regular ordinary not-rich individual. But I'm not stupid and can choose my own investments. Banning or restricting these investments to regular people (and allowing them for the rich and the institutions) is a display of deep disregard for the public. Govt institutions should not be used to just support the rich and connected as we see over and over. These are public investments regular people should be able to invest in should they choose. Thank you.

I am a private citizen who has been managing my own investment accounts for over 20 years. During those years I studied the markets and investment strategies. Initially I had to convince my brokerage firm, Charles Schwab, that I was qualified to trade options and inverse ETFs as well as futures contracts and manage my own accounts. It is very important to me that I be allowed to determine what investment vehicles are appropriate for me and not be told by some beaurocrat what I can and con not invest/trade in. Currently inverse ETFs are an important aspect of my investing strategy.

They aren't that complicated. Do not get rid of inverse or leveraged ETFs.
