Risk is associated with everything in life, such as driving a vehicle, going to college or entering the workforce, or even accepting a job promotion. We make decisions such as requiring auto or home owner insurance. If I already understand the amount of risk of my investments, I do not need an exam to tell me how to invest. By maximizing my return on a diversified leveraged fund (such as UPRO -

I believe investors should be able to choose what investments that they want to invest in. I used these investments as a hedge for my portfolio. I do think that the acknowledgement of risk and investment experience should play a role in whether investors can invest in leveraged products, but the approval process should be similar to the process for getting approval to trade stock options. It
I am opposed to the proposed rules adding restrictions on purchases of leveraged investment products for individual investors. Individual investors should have the ability to choose what strategies to utilize and the equities they purchase. Investing with leveraged and inverse ETFs provides me the ability to take advantage of market movement and sector activity without risk of concentrating into
Comments: To: FINRA,
I have been an active trader for many years using Leveraged and Inverse (L&I) Funds fairly successfully. I understand their limitations and risks from various literature/warnings and from my own experience. I strongly suggest that investors and brokerage firms do not need additional regulations to effectively use L&I Funds. This would only make these
