Subject: Investors ability to trade "complex products" - including leveraged and inverse funds (L&I Funds).
Dear Regulators,
I am Kamala Chandrasekaran, 58 years old and I like to voice my opinion regarding your proposal on limiting access to Leveraged and Inverse ETFs (complex products).
Educated Investor: I like to inform you that I am an educated investor in the
We the public, not regulators should be able to choose
the public investments that are right for ourselves and our family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I have the right to share my views, but the regulators are required to take my comments into consideration in deciding whether to move forward.
Thank you for taking action.

The last thing we the people want from FINRA is to make investing yet more of an exclusive club for the elites. It is honestly disgusting that you are pursuing legislation in this domain given the glaring issues which have come

I strongly oppose these proposed regulations! This country was founded on the premise that the average citizen has enough common sense to take care of himself and decide what is appropriate as far as his personal finances are concerned. This is just another example of governmental overreach and the end result will be that only the very wealthy will have access to these investments. In my
Dear FINRA Regulators, To whom it may concern. I would prefer that you stay out of my business. The less government we have the better, is my absolute opinion.
