I strongly oppose the government to regulate and/or restrict my right to invest in financial instruments in whatever form. Freedom in capitalism, the right to put my money in public investment without impediment is a fundamental personal right. I have been investing in stocks since I earned my first dollar. I want to continue to have the freedom to exercise that financial option without
Every day at FINRA, we protect investors from misconduct, stop fraud and provide restitution to harmed customers. And we are successful—in part because customers and other members of the public provide information and crucial evidence during the course of an investigation.
I strongly oppose any regulation limiting my choice in public or private investments. There should be no 'test' to invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of making my own financial decisions, and reject additional government interference regarding my finances. I implore you to not impose additional measures prohibiting my decision to invest

I beg you to keep the complex products, leveraged ETFs, options on the table for us retail investors. As a retail investor that has had to suffer through the 1999, 2008, and 2020 crashes, I cannot make up ground to retirement without more complex financial instruments. If I don't have ways to access options and ETFs in my IRA I am not going to take a big financial hit long term.
I am totally against any and all financial regulations that limit my ability to invest my own money as I see fit to best suit my own financial needs. Inverse funds in particular are extremely important as hedges against market downturns in severe corrections and/or bear markets. They enable investors to protect their assets and to even actually make money in down markets.
As a college student who works for near minimum wage, saving for my future, no matter how frugal, amounts to very little. Since investing, leveraged stocks have given my capital a turnover that puts my financial goals on track, given due diligence. Banning leveraged stocks would be another financial avenue closed to the working class, who simply want to save for their own home.
To whom this may concern, Please do not restrict the access of the average investor into market funds. Some of those under consideration are incredibly useful to new investors who choose to risk smaller amounts during a learning phase of the market. These proposed changes will significantly increase the barrier of entry to the average American in achieving their financial goals. Americans should
I would like the freedom and ability and the chance and opportunity to determine my future. My financial future. My family trees future. I have studied leveraged funds. I understand the risks. The rewards. And the government should not determine what investments the rich can make. And what investments the poor can make. If there is one set of rules for the rich, and another set of rules for the
