The only change that should be made if any is that one should be ablento take a test or quick quiz that proves knowledge of these products and then also sign an acknowledgement and the same should be done for the PDT rule. One is kidding themselves if they think changes here will protect anyone as that would imply that the regulatory body has the right to save people from themselves. They don
Attn. FINRA: I oppose any limitations on my ability to buy these types of Funds as leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I should be able to choose the public investments that I consider to be correct for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few. As a seasoned investor I understand the risks!!! I
I am a retired college teacher and have been managing my own investments for over 30 years. I am quite capable of learning about and choosing the investments that are best for me. All investments should be available to all people, not just the privileged few. I was able to retire because I had access to all kinds of assets to carry out specific strategies in varying market conditions over the
You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.

Inverse funds are one of the few ways to have a strategy that
I oppose the proposed rule. I, and I alone, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for my family without having to pass a test or go through any special process.

I Oppose restrictions to my right to invest. And I should have the right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds just like the big wall street firms, hedge funds, etc. I am fully capable of understanding the risks and do not need to be tested or have additional barriers placed in front of me to proof to a regulator that I know what is best for my portfolio. This is too much oversight and I don
I should be able to choose the public investment that are right for me and my family, not regulators. Public investment should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I object to Rule #S7-24-15 which would restrict my ability to make investment decisions for myself. It is totally unreasonable to suggest I take a regulatory test, when I just recently read Proshare materials, purchased some inverse products and have been watching those investments daily, as they suggested. For what reason should my freedoms now be restricted? How much more regulation does the
I am an engineer by training and regularly handle economic calculations and risk assessment for my job as well as my personal activities. I should not be required to take training or pass tests to invest as I do now; much less be forced into cooling off periods related to my investment strategies. To be clear, I am also one of the folks that paid back all my college student loans and am sick and
