I strongly oppose any restrictions on the trading of any of the fund types in the notice particularly leveraged and inverse ETFs or ETNs involving indices or volatility. Risks are clearly laid out in the prospectus. Not the governments job to restrict the freedom to invest in these products in order to protect people who cant be bothered to read the prospectus and then get burned by risks clearly
I am strongly opposed to proposed regulations that would restrict my ability to utilize Leveraged and Inverse Funds/ETFs. These are an important part of my investment strategy and are used for both investment in up trending markets as well as hedging purposes in downtrending markets. I am quite capable of understanding the function and risks of these vehicles, and do not feel the government
This looks like just another step towards total control of free enterprise and free thought in our country. I've been a serious and prudent investor in financial instruments for over 30 years.

I oppose the proposed restrictions on leveraged or inverse funds. To me, those funds are invaluable in allowing me sometimes invest in a diversified index simulating single stock performance but without single stock risk, especially during earnings season where price gap downs can occur.

To whom it may concern:
Leveraged funds are vital to responsible management of my family's investments. I've been tasked to safeguard our family monies and this responsibility has taken on extra urgency since my father died and my mother experienced a major stroke.
I have used SPXS as an insurance policy against a major market downturn. Certain external risk factors -- Putin,
I do not need a regulator to tell me what I can invest in or not, unless there is clear evidence that there is insufficient market competition, market failure or market inefficiency. I use a portion of leveraged funds to either hedge my overall portfolio, or to enhance my returns, depending on where the market stands at a given time.

Dear FINRA,
I understand all investment vehicles have risk and one can lose your principal. Making it harder for ever day Americans to be able to invest in leveraged and inverse funds only empowers the rich and well connected. I should have the right to be able to invest in public products.
