I want to choose the investments that are right for me. It is not for regulators to make this decision. I understand the risks of leveraged and inverse funds and weigh these risks in determining how much money I should invest in such funds. I enhanced my overall returns when I held such funds and sold them when I considered it appropriate to do so. If regulators step in and reduce access to these funds, only the very wealthy or investors who have special access will be able to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. Americans are not stupid.

I just think it's crazy that I have to pay someone to use my money.

I find it ironic that our government proposes to restrict investments that allow citizens to protect themselves from government interventions in markets. I specifically indicate inverse bond funds. These allow investors to offset detrimental actions of government agencies, such as the expansion of the money supply by the Federal Reserve, in a very simple and inexpensive manor. Or maybe you specifically intend to harm me by forcing me to accept ruinous government financial actions without access to protection.

to FINRA regulators dear sir I am aware of the risks of leveraged and inverse ETFs I don't want to go through special passing tests to invest in these funds.they are important for my investment strategy sincerely

Dear FINRA, I come from the industry, although now retired, and am an active trader using leveraged products. I agree with you that anyone using these products should be able to demonstrate sophistication and an understanding of the underlying optionality and risks. (In cases of trading discretion, the person with trading discretion over the client's, or family member's, assets should be the one attesting, with the ultimate asset owner's assent to the product's use.)

This is a statment that says I live in the US. Were we should have the right to purchase freely any stock, ETF, or any investments we choose with out regulation, passing a test or any other type of legislation that restricts our rights to choose an investment. This proposed legislation infringes our constitutional right to freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Do not take away our rights that we are entitled to in this country.

I believe that I should have the freedom to invest in securities
without regulators imposing measures on me. I strongly oppose any restrictions hindering my right to invest in public securities.

I oppose to restrictions to my rights to invest.

I CARE ABOUT MY FUTURE GAINS

Please do NOT restrict our right to buy, sell, or trade leveraged or inverse funds. These vehicles are important to maintaining liquidity and an orderly market.
