We don't need big brother controlling our financial decisions. This is not 1984! I've already graduated from school many years ago. I don't need to take anymore tests. Leveraged and inverse funds are used to control risk in my portfolios.

Regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, hence why theyre called public investments, not just the privileged.

Stop the insanity and make investing more easily available for everyone not just the rich and wealthy.
I am opposed to a plan which makes restrictions on being able to buy and sell inverse funds without jumping through a variety of hoops to get permission. However, it would be good to have rules on the prospectus documents explaining in very clear language what the unusual risks are from using the funds. The special coverage of risks could be put right at the beginning of the prospectus and
Inverse ETF's are not exceedingly complex financial instruments. In addition, they can be used easily and cheaply to reduce risk by investors with significant equity exposure. Investors such as myself should have the right to make our own decisions about reducing risk without the need to sell our stock positions. We should not be forced to take a test to retain this right, although i have no
Comments: I acknowledge that leveraged ETF's can be extremely volatile and not suitable for every investor but for should be available for those that choose them. There are extreme risks everywhere. It's up to each investor to manage their cash and risk tolerance. It's fine to put warning labels on the package but don't restrict the sale. I can illustrate many
Thanks for asking investor's feedback.
I understand your concerns regarding the complex products and associated risk. However, I would suggest you leave the decision to the investor, You can play a key role by mandating product providers to disclose all the risks and details about the underlying securities.
I would not expect FINRA to block the product provider to offer any product
Dear Sirs,
