I strongly urge the FINRA regulators to drop plans to restrict the use of leveraged or inverse funds. I am perfectly able to read the prospectuses and calculate the risks associated with them. There is no need to require any testing to see if investors understand how they work. These funds are very important to my long term investment planning and help me to protect my capital during periods
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

As an individual investor, I should be able to choose public investments that are right for me. I shouldn't need to seek regulator's permission for investment choices that are only for the privileged.

I do not need these measures imposed on me or any other investor.

They are the majority of my trading/investing strategy. I cannot understand how taking a test is going to be a better metric for understanding these products than 20 years of "skin in the game". Also I believe

I hope that future regulation widens access to securities, and does not prohibit access based on income, or net worth. I also hope that public access to investment products continues without the need for special testing or license to buy and sell stock and that public
