Dear Sirs,
In regards to the proposed ban on trading the ProShares funds, which include "inverse" tracking indices, I would like to express my discontent with any regulation that limits my freedom in trading financial instruments. Public investments, including "invers funds", need to be available for the general public to trade, not just privileged people

I'm mildly opposed to a regulation banning "complex" financial products if it ends up covering things like 2x or 3x index funds (or even inverse funds).

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.

You just dont want the everyday Joe making money on the way down like the big boys do. Inexperienced traders lose money everyday on all kinds of stocks and all you fat cats profit from it but now you care about us not losing our money. I call [REDACTED

The leveraged funds increase my potential gain and inverse funds give me protection from downturns and I don't want the regulators to meddle with my investments unless they can show me investments that only make gains and never lose.

Could someone please inform FINRA that the US is well into the throws of a total societal/financial collapse, as is most of the rest of the planet. Adding layers of burdensome regulation and limiting the public' in which publicly traded securities they may or may not use for speculation, hedging or investment purposes is equivalent to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic after it
