The government should have no role in limiting an individual's ability to invest their money how they deem fit. We do not need "big brother" to protect us from ourselves. Markets work best when they are NOT manipulated by Washington politicians and bureaucrats. It's bad policy to limit any person's ability to lawfully make money, especially when big-money lobbyists (i.e., former Administration and Capitol Hill staffers) have every ability to enrich themselves with special access and favors. DO NOT limit our ability to invest money.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Myself and the public are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I do not need these measures imposed on me.

This rule is so un-necessary. Leveraged and inverse funds are extremely important to my families investment strategy. I use hedges and stop losses and paid advice from investors with over 30 yrs experience to carefully manage these funds. These are a small but very important part of my portfolio and it makes no sense to have to pass a test to make these well thought out and previously successful investments. I very much oppose this ruling. Thank you for you time.

Like free market, free speech... some will get hurt some will benefit greatly we don't need big brother making those decision for individuals under the guise of protecting the consumer ... Let individuals make their own investment choices that fit their individual needs or just choice.

I invest in leveraged inverse ETF's in my in my IRA. These investment vehicles allow me to manage the risk in my account.

I am already a experienced investor that understands the pros and cons of investing in leveraged, inverse and leveraged inverse mutual funds. In fact in rhe product offers of these types of Investments have been decreasing much to my consternation. There are already attestations that must be made by my brokerage firm before I can invest. I don't need anymore restrictions. Even the proposed ones are tolerable to EXCEPT for the cooling off period proposal, that one is intolerable. Thank you.

Let everyone trade as they please!

Here is my comments on this issue. We should have a right to choose the investment that are right for us. all investment including leverage fund should be open for everybody with out any discrimination . If you want to impose the restriction on the leverage and inverse fund than it should be restricted to the high net worth individuals and the fund managers because they are the one who manipulates the market with the help of the regulators like the one who proposed this. As my investment strategy I always use leverage fund particularly inverse fund to hedge my portfolio.

I strongly oppose the proposed FINRA regulation that would restrict my ability to easily invest in public securities that FINRA deems "complex products" such as leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding the risk issues related to these investments and I don't need any nanny state to "protect" me from making bad choices. I use such investments, which are a limited part of my portfolio for achieving certain investment goals that I select. Having a governmental body deciding whether I am capable of making my own investment choices is ridiculous!

Please keep these valuable investing tools available to us. Inverse and leveraged ETF funds are easier than managing options manually.
