Dear FINR regulators, Please do not limit my freedoms to invest. Consider that leveraged and inverse funds are an important part of many investors strategy and those who wish to participate in the transacting of them should get to keep the personal responsibility of making the choice to participate in these funds or notno matter how riskywithout regulations that would dictate this choice for them. Please work toward keeping our liberty. We are all in this together.

More government regulations! Seriously?? This is a guise to limit the average American citizens' ability to participate in a free and fair marketplace. This will further "rig the game" in favor of the big financial institutions and eliminate an important financial tool that the small average investor can use to hedge their portfolio's in adverse times. The small investor CANNOT be limited to only being able to invest in upside market moves only! This "Big Brother" move is unwarranted, unneeded and absolutely unacceptable. This MUST NOT HAPPEN!!!

An inverse ETF or even a leveraged ETF takes far less knowledge and understanding to invest in safely than a whole host of other publicly traded securities for which no similar requirements are being imposed. All one has to understand is that the security is designed to and reasonably likely to trade in the manner it is advertised by its promotors .... which is usually tracking an index or the inverse of an index. That is the same amount of knowledge needed to invest in the index itself.

We need to stop treating people like idiots when it comes to our finances. There are a lot of us that are not fantastically wealthy yet fully understand how to invest our money. Why limit the ability to have larger returns to those in the upper levels of wealth? Further regulation of investment vehicles will increase the wealth gap and make it harder for younger people to build wealth and stay ahead of inflation.

I oppose the legislation in the proposed rule #S7-24-15. I like the ability to invest in leveraged funds, specifically SQQQ. When the market indicators show that the markets, in this case the Nasdaq Composite, is going to go through a contraction, funds like SQQQ allow me to realize a greater return with less capital. Funds such as SQQQ help level the playing field for other investors that do not wish to have a large percentage of their net worths in stocks and bonds.
