I have worked hard to make money and have found inverse products to be a great way to protect my investments over the years as well as a great way to make return and to protect my investments. Please dont take this great product away for just average older investors
Stop trying to regulate retail investors. Information regarding these securities and other more complex investments is readily available. Nobody forces me to buy leveraged funds and the risks are well documented. You need to worry more about the investment whales that constantly manipulate the daily charts!!
I strongly oppose the effort of regulators to limit my ability to purchase leveraged or inverse investments. I am educated and well aware the risks of purchasing such products. As the last 5 months have dramatically proven, these types of products, like any stock, has the ability to go up or down significantly.
For me leveraged funds funds are a small part of a well thought out Pro-folio I have put together myself.
Im not some super rich person nor did I have to take a test!
This is a right all should have in a free market environment! It should stay the way it is!
Comments: Hi, leveraged instruments have done well for me and I'm fully aware of the risks. They're mine to take. By removing access to the average customer, you're hurting them and being excessive in regulation.
I support reasonable checks like with options trading but not to discourage investors excessively.

to: FINRA I believe the proposal to restrict my or anyones right to invest in the way that they desire is more of the government nanny thinking. This hasnt worked well in anything that any regulatory body has implemented. People cant learn unless they can make mistakes and you are clearly on a misguided mission..
As an individual investor, leveraged and inverse ETFs are very important to my hedging and risk management strategies. Having used them for many years, I'm very well aware of the risks involved with these securities and do not need any additional education or certification in order to use them properly.
