Please dont make these changes. As an AMERICAN adult I understand the risks in investing and believe its my choice on which securities etf and cryptos to put my hard earned money into. thanks for reading

I should be able to decide my risk, not the government.

I should have the freedom and flexibility to choose the investments that are right for me and my family. Public investment should be available for any investor, not just the privileged few. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. 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. I do not need these measures imposed on me.

I strongly oppose any rule that limits my (or others') ability to implement investment strategy, which at times includes the use of options and leveraged/inverse exchange-traded products. I believe such a rule would cause me personal financial harm. Although I have decades of experience with such products, I oppose any rule for which I must pass tests or meet any arbitrary net worth standard to use these products.

This ridiculous! Another non-reglulator trying to take decision-making authority away from the very people that CHOOSE to invest in leveraged products. Shameful! We know the risks. Why this particular investment class??? Is that through this proposal, you are broadcasting events to come? Thank you, but NO! I trust my own judgement over boards, and regulators. This bad idea needs to scrapped!

I believe that I myself not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged! Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I use them as a part of my overall portfolio to help protect my investments. I should be able to choose my own investments without regulators questioning my knowledge level.

The extremely wealthy have all sorts of extra tools and methods to protect their wealth. I know, because I have worked most of my life for hedge funds and family offices. For the more ordinary individual, one of the only practical ways to protect their equity investments from economic turmoil is through inverse funds and leveraged funds. Please, please do not do anything to limits these important investment funds. These leveraged and inverse funds should be available to all. Thanks for your consideration.

I strongly oppose the proposed regulations. My investing is my choice, and I don't need anybody holding my hand.

You need to allow investors to invest in these funds, stop your unfair practices against common investors

FINRA Regulators, as a self employed professional engineer who also sits on the Snyder County Planning Commission for the last 10 years, issues of regulatory affairs are common to me. And as a person who manages 2/3 of my retirement portfolio, having inverse tools to help protect against market downturns is vital to me. This is the second time within 10 years that an appeal has been made to keep inverse and leveraged funds. Given that I am now 70 years old, it is even more vital that these inverse ETF tools remain in effect to protect my savings of a lifetime. Respectfully Submitted,
