As a life-long investor and a former registered representative with a Series 7 license, I learned that each person's investment strategy is unique to their current, as well as future, needs. Also, each individual's net worth may require hedging strategies that only leveraged and inverse funds can provide. To restrict access to these investment products means that regulators know the reasons each person's investment portfolio uses leveraged and inverse funds, and assumes these reasons are somehow counterproductive and/or unsuitable.

I think imposing restrictions on exchange traded funds is a bad idea. I don't like the idea that I should have to jump through hoops to put a few bucks into an ETF. I guess if you do this it might pay to start sticking my money under the mattress.

I am strongly opposed to further regulation limiting access to ETFs that are inverse/leveraged. These give a way to protect my Retirement funds in case of extreme reversals. I am just an average retiree that prefers a way to protect my IRA that took years to build.

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'm full capable to understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special processes like passing a test because I can invest. I do NOT need any additional measures imposed on me. Try putting some better restrictions on congress, the house and house speaker's husband instead of restricting the general public. I am well versed in handling leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

Dear FINRA, Everyone should have access to invest in UltraPro and UltraPro Short ETF's.and other funds without limitations. We should all have the right to make the investments in public securities that we choose and they should all be available to the public.

I invest in these securities, UltraPro and UltraPro Short ETF's to help protect my investments and keep positive returns.

I oppose limitation on my investment, please stop the regulation.

My money

I 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. They help me
protect (hedge) my investments or seek enhanced returns.

I feel that your proposed regulations are insultingly presumptuous. I alone will prosper or suffer from my investments. I dont need interference in my choices. I have been handling investments for many years and have done quite well. I can handle complex instruments, and more importantly I know my limits. I include leveraged or inverse funds when and only when I am comfortable that they are appropriate. I feel that the conclusion that I need to be restricted, not to mention tested, in using these instruments is beyond insulting.
