Worry about regulating what retail investors are allowed to do after insider trading inside congress is dealt with. Aside from that soundbite, it's an absolute joke. Gambling is legal throughout much of the US, and nobody makes sure you understand roulette before you participate. The reality is that sometimes people make bad decisions and lack the proper knowledge to make the decision in the
Leveraged and inverse funds should be able to be traded by anyone. Its my money and it is my choice on how to spend it. Individuals have the right to spend money and invest how they please. Yes, there could be risks involved but that is my choice. Every investment involves some sort of risk, even the top tech stocks, some of which have declined roughly 80% since their high a year ago. How can an
I have read about the risks involved concerning leveraged and inverse funds. These products allow me to make allow me to trade and profit when the market is volatile and I do not feel restrictions should be put into place. I took a very expensive stock trading class and I understand the risks and feel comfortable making these trades.

I am quite capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and am actually insulted that you think you know what is right for me. I do not need these measures imposed on me or any other investor.
Sirs: I personally use inverse leveraged funds as a small part of my overall investment strategy. This protection is not available through other investment vehicles and request your leaving them as is.
I am an adult. I, not regulators, can decide what investments are right for me. No tests or proof of a "high net worth" are necessary to determine the appropriateness of where and how I invest my money. Why should only the wealthy have the freedom to invest their funds as desired? My success in investing in leveraged and inverse funds is important to my overall financial strategy, and
STOP THE MADNESS! It's hard to believe that another agency is again wanting to control/restrict me, telling me how and what to trade. I am 66 years old, have been trading stocks since 1998 (24 years now). I am the only one that should be deciding on the risk of whatever stock or ETF that I (not FINRA) am going to invest in. I am abundantly capable of making these decisions on my own, and
