To Whom It May Concern,
It is only right that I not regulators be the one to choose the public investments that are right for myself and my family!
Public investments should always without fail be available to the public for myself and my family and others like us. And shouldn't be just for the privileged.
Going through any special processes really shouldn't become a reality
As an American and a vetran U S Army officer, I oppose restrictions to my right to invest for myself. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public
I'm not god's gift to investing, but these funds figure prominently in my portfolio, and I was up about 50% last year - and this year I'm doing just a little worse than the S&P. Not bad overall.
The idea that I could have been prevented from achieving these returns because I don't have a high enough net worth or because I couldn't pass
I have been investing for many years and it is just un-american to try to stop normal up standing American citizens from the right to make their own investment decisions. It is important that each individual have the right to choose the best investments for their family. All investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged super-rich who then take advantage of the

I use inverse funds to de-risk my portfolio as I believe most investors, using these funds do. I don't "bet" in market movement but I do protect myself when I see excessive volatility in the markets.
I am very much against additional

I believe that current FINRA regulations are sufficient, if followed by investors, to protect investors from investing without knowledge of the specifications of various investments, including such investments that might be inverse in nature and/or leveraged.
The investor always has the choice to use a broker who is supposed to act in a fiduciary manner.
Personally, I use
I strongly oppose restrictions and limitations on inverse and leveraged investment products.
Too many of the tools available to protect, preserve and increase a lifetime of savings are restricted to professionals and the wealthy. I have spent a lifetime working hard to save, and I should have the power to invest as I see fit. Special processes and tests are simply gates to further limit access
Funding is extremely challenging. Additional regulations are not the answer. I deal with "sophisticated" high net worth investors every day for fundraising for my biotech company. Most have less knowledge about pharmaceuticals than my special needs seven-year old son. These individuals would undoubtedly pass the proposed test, but they still won't have a clue.

Dear Finra,
I am absolutely opposed to regulation on leveraged ETFs. I have been using them for years and they are part of my long term strategy for growth in my Roth IRA. I know the risk I am taking and I have a long time horizon for these investments. I have studied the markets for 20 years and learned about economics and even technical analysis of the price charts on my own through all
