I believe that I should be able to choose what stock investments I want and what would work for me. As with any investment both losses and gains are on the shoulders of the investor and should not be regulated.

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments.

By creating restrictions to these investments, only the priviledged will be able to choose these investments. This is comletely unfair.

Hello FINRA,

Having access to leveraged ETFs is one way for normal retail investors to be able to get faster financial growth. Introducing too many restrictions on it will deny us those opportunities.

Thanks,

I use leverage funds as a short term hedge to my long investments.

They are easier to invest in than options

ALCON,

I oppose restrictions
on your right to invest in public investments. Free choice of public investments in American at its core.

We have the right to invest!!!!
Period!!

Hi,
Investors should be able to choose the public
investments that fits my investment goal. I understand the risks and responsible for the consequences.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not having to pass a test. Its my own money at risk and shouldnt be restricted on when I can make the trade. I have no influence on the bigger market like the CEO of companies so my investment shouldnt be timed. Thanks

Im a middle class single female, Im trying to invest in different industries little by little. If investing gets even more regulated that only those with already big bucks can only invest, there is no chance that I can retire by before the age of 80 and even then Im not sure Ill be able to afford to retire.

Comments: I as an investor am using leveraged ETF's to hedge against the risk. FINRA should not just block individuals from accessing these ETF's and leave them accessible to hedge funds and mutual funds and other large investment.
Such suggestion is simply an action against small individual investors who wants to carefully manage their risk.

(1) The leveraged and inverse funds offered by financial institutes provide excellent investment opportunities and give us financial security. Surely, the investors should aware of their risk and reward. Just like any investment that no investment can guaranty their future performance. However, the regulation should not limit the high potential to have the maximum return. (2) Talking about the risk, there are many riskier investments than the leverage /inverse funds. For example, option trading and community trading are in this category.
