I oppose this legislation. Individual investors should be able to choose the publi investments that are right for my family. We should not have to be subject to any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies and work very well to hedge my other investments.

Regulators should not be able to limit the public investment options my family uses to limit our exposure to the volatility of public trading markets. Leveraged and inverse investments are an important tool in helping us to accomplish this goal.

I should have the right to invest in public traded leveraged and inverse these investments should not be for the privileged nor should I have to go thru a special process. I am a trained electrical engineer and quite capable of understanding these instruments. With these types of investments, it does not require me to tie up large sums of money and allows me to hedge against corrections and bear markets.

I absolutely oppose the new restrictions proposed in SEC Rule S7-24-15. This is another example of government over-reach. Stop it. Now! Let all the little guys in this country continue to do what has made this country the greatest free market in the world!

Allow people to trade and take risks as they please. Big daddy government already intrudes enough into the lives of citizens and markets as it is.

I strongly oppose this arbitrary regulation that arbitrarily singles out leveraged and inverse etfs to high net worth individuals. This is clearly a case where regulators are falling prey to political pressure to "protect" investors. These funds are incredibly useful in instances where trading futures is not available. In addition, the risks inherent to inverse and leveraged funds are no different than higher beta individual stocks. What's next, prohibit non-high worth individual investors from trading those?

While it is imperative for FINRA to protect all investor's interests from their actions and inactions, these proposed regulations would create arbitrarily onerous barriers to financial instruments for everyday retail investors. These would only benefit high net worth individuals and investment firms--especially hedge funds, those of whom already impose their market dominance upon everyday investors.

I am against being limited to purchase pro shares inverse etf's. Do not allow regulators to limit the purchases and manipulate this market.

Dear FINRA Regulators, I write to express my objection to proposed Rule #S7-24-15. I should not have to be a member of an elite privileged group to use public investments like leveraged and inverse funds. These investment vehicles have been an integral, but limited part of my hedged portfolio. Depriving me of that choice does not reduce my risk but increases it. I have used leveraged and inverse funds to good effect and should not now become subject to being tested by regulators in order to have access to these Public investments.

I disagree with this proposed rule. This is another attempt to rig the markets and shut-out retail traders. This is totally absurd and corrupt.
