Dear FINRA,
As an informed and educated investor I use inverse indexes as a hedge for market downturns. We all know market trends fluctuate to the upside as well as the downside and this is a part of my investment strategy. By continuing to allow consumer investors like myself to use inverse indexes levels the playing field and allows all investors access to 'free' markets.
I should have the ability to choose any public investment as per my portfolio needs and it should not be restricted in any way. My personal strategy is to invest in 80% on high yield stocks, 10% on large cap and rest 10% for ultra pro/high returns index.
This restriction will hinder my ability to get good returns on my hard earned money which I am using to save for my kids education.
I should be able to choose which type of investment to secure my future and retirement. There is no need for regulation on inverse or leverage accounts.
I own/invest in leverage or inverse funds to maximize my returns over a shorter period of time. The benefits of investing in these funds allow me flexibility, to place trailing stop limit orders & grow capital appreciation over time.

I OPPOSE YOUR INTENDED RESTRICTIOING REGULATION TO MY RIGHTS TO INVEST IN PUBLIC INVESTMENTS. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THE PUBLIC INVESTMENTS THAT ARE RIGHT FOR ME & MY FAMILY. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY SPECIAL PROCESS OTHER THAN BROKERAGE HOUSES DETERMINE INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT EXPERIENCES & ASSET VALUES TO INVEST IN LEVERAGED & INVERSE FUNDS. SO, DO NOT IMPOSE
I dont even understand the logic in this proposed limitation. I often use inverse funds to hedge (protect my investment savings. Do not take away this financial tool to protect me in volatile times. I feel strongly about this.
There are no restrictions needed, or wanted on investment trading. As an investor, I am capable of making my own investment decisions and neither need, or want an organization making decisions for me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important in my investment strategies. Please reconsider any action taken or proposed that would impede my investment decisions.
I have a self directed IRA. The balance in my retirement fund investments has increased since january while the major stock indexes are down close to 20%. I have done this with leveraged and inverse etf funds. I am not a licensed investor but I did educate myself for months to prepare for the obvious upcoming government imposed economic trainwreck. If my retirement fund was in a 401k I would
