As a self advised , private investor I should not have any restrictions placed upon what I can choose t invest in for myself and my family. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, including cryptocurrency funds such as BITO. I fully understand cryptocurrency funds such as BITO and their risks. These investments are an important part of my overall investment strategy and provide diversification in my portfolio.

FINRA should stay out of the personal investing decisions
of the public. The leveraged and inverse funds are a great
aid and help in managing a portfolio.They can actually help
you controll your risk and increase your returns. So I say
again keep your NOSE out of the investing publics pockets.

I want to choose my investments and I shouldn't have to qualify by answering questions on a test. You overstep your authority and do not have the right to question my choices. You need to rethink imposing this regulation. I don't need an overseer!

Do NOT limit my ability to invest freely!

Individual Investors should have access to all financial instruments available to institutional investors. The high risk of inverse funds is made clear enough in the research. Individual investors in self-managed accounts would be at an even greater disadvantage without this.

I oppose regulations to my rights to invest. It's my right and you have no right to intrude on them on my rights.

Vix or UVXY or SQQQ is THE BEST WAY TO CONSERVE MY CAPITAL during a down market like the present market. We not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I have been responsibly using leveraged ETFs as a single-digit percentage of my portfolio for almost three years now, and I personally find the notion that they now could be restricted from individual investors to be utterly outrageous. I am stuck dealing with grossly subpar investments via my pension and Social Security (while I understand the rationale for Social Security writ large), and I have used leverage to increase exposure to risk assets in lieu of being able to do so with investment funds handled on my behalf in such instances.

Individual / retail investors are perfectly capable of making their own decisions about what investments are right for them.
We dont want, nor do we need restrictive government regulations to protect us.
Stop trying to help.
