I am writing to contest in the strongest possible way your intent to limit investment in leveraged or inverse funds. As adults, it is every American's right to make investment choices on their own. Whether they are smart or dumb choices, regulators have no business acting as nannies for grown adults.
Rather than putting the burden on the individual investor, you should focus on the
I am requesting that retail investors like myself retain the ability to invest in leverage and inverse funds. These types of funds will continue to exist, why limit them only to affluent investors through professional firms? I utilize these funds to protect and balance my portfolio as a hedge against downturns and also to realize higher ratio returns without having to buy on margin. My Fidelity
Hello:
I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed rules for investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Its a violation of my rights as an investor and imposes unreasonable burden on my ability to trade in a timely manner.

Just because someone is rich does not mean they know better than normal people. There needs to be more education in terms of how the information on these funds are presented. This is why 2 entire
Dear FINRA, I oppose this legislation because you are instituting more constraints on my freedom to manage my investments as I see fit. We already must review and sign documents from our broker informing us of the risks and potential losses on all leveraged investments before we can purchase those investments.
