I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST
I understand the risks associated with inverse and leveraged investment products. These proposed restrictions will not protect me from losing money, they will interfere with my ability to plan for my future. I should not have to pass a test before I am allowed to invest in public securities.
You should be worried about Congress using insider information to enrich themselves. If the general population wants to risk THEIR money, its THEIR choice if you do this, the effort to make the rich richer while the poor have no hope will become obvious. Let them eat cake is a bad strategy
Dear Sir/Madam,
I oppose any restrictions to my right or ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, or other popular investments deemed to be complex. As an investor, one should understand the risk with any form of investments and have the rights to select all available public assets to invest in. Thank you.
Rules “enhancements” means more rules. My broker make it very clear this was a very high risk investment. I was required to sign approximately 4 different documents that I had never had to sign before in 35 years of investing. I know exactly what I own and don’t need extra protections.
I believe myself and other retail investors should have the ability to utilize "complex" investment products. The risk factors involved are clearly communicated by the prospectus and even by the disclosures from the brokerage prior to investing. The ability to utilize these funds is instrumental in optimizing out portfolios to meet our investing goals.

I should have the right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds in order to hedge and reduce the volatility of my existing portfolios. I totally understand the risks associated with these investments and size the positions appropriately. These type of hedges should be available to all investors, large or small. Please protect our individual rights.
I am writing to oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments including leveraged or reversed leveraged security. I am fully aware of the risks in these types of investment. Leveraged and inverse funds are important part of my investment strategy. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I use leveraged and inverse ETFs which are useful for me within my overall portfolio. I use these but don't have a lot of exposure to these products so they don't create extra risk, while they do create great return. Please DO NOT REMOVE the ability for individual investors or traders to use these products!
Comments: I like trading leveraged and inverse ETFs and don't want additional limits placed on the investors. I understand the risks and believe that additional limits on these investments will only hurt the small investor while big Wall Street firms can do what they want. It is important for FINRA not to hurt the small investor.
