I strongly object to ANY regulation change affecting my personal choice to trade any/all market vehicles including leveraged funds. I DO understand leveraged fund risk, these funds along with risk also provide opportunity I rely upon. I see new requirements such as forced testing as an infringement on my U.S. FREEDOMS, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Chance, Freedom of Action. MY individual trade decisions - be they winners OR losers, are solely MY risk and responsibility. As a retiree -- trading is my JOB, my income source. Please do not interfere with MY Freedom of Job choice.

Proshares have been a valuable tool for managing risk for my portfolio. Being a small investor I don't want to loose that security.

It is a free market, it is also condescending to not allow individuals to manage their own investment strategy, while allowing the 1 percent or large hedge funds. Seem just another way to cut out people from being able invest on their own.

I strongly oppose any action to regulate investment in complex instrument such as leveraged and inverse ETFs, ETNs, or options. As an American citizen, my right to make my own investment decisions and enjoy the benefits, or incur the consequences, is my constitutional right. I do not need someone, no matter their intent, deciding what I should invest in. Individual liberty, not control imposed by regulation is essential to this country's continued success. I oppose any regulation that limits my freedom to make my own decisions.

I use leveraged and inverse funds as a hedge against other investments in my portfolio. I think everyone should be able to do this.

I oppose restrictions to invest in leveraged and inverse funds

We have all experienced big government in every aspect of our lives but it must stop right here right now! We are all capable of choosing investments for us & our families without government interference on what investments are tight for us or how to choose whats right for our own portfolio! Stay out of our lives already!!

I don't think there should be limited access to inverse or leveraged funds. These investments allowed protection from the recent market down turn and increased inflation and energy prices by affording me the opportunity as a smaller investor to take positions in the market for protection that normally would only be available to institutional investors thru the futures or options market. All investments involve risks of some type just as taking no action can involve risks.

The US Constitution guarantees Americans the right to life, liberty and property. That means Americans have the right to spend or invest their hard-earned after-tax income (property) however they see fit, as long as they do not violate the equal rights of other people. It is not possible to violate the rights of other people by voluntarily buying and selling from them. As a result, American investors should be free to benefit from financial innovations such as levered and inverse ETFs without having to pass a test to do so.

to: FINRA I believe the proposal to restrict my or anyones right to invest in the way that they desire is more of the government nanny thinking. This hasnt worked well in anything that any regulatory body has implemented. People cant learn unless they can make mistakes and you are clearly on a misguided mission..
