We the people should have to right to invest in whatever we please. It is not the job of the government to guide where our personal money is spent
Leveraged investments should be available to all members of the public, not just the privileged. It is not the job of the government to determine what risk an investor can or cannot take. Keep big government out of my portfolio.

Dear FINRA,
Public investments should be available to all of the public NOT just the PRIVILEDGED. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me.
I am very capable of understanding investments and the risk. I shouldn't have to go through any special process of test taking before investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I have done my own research and are very
