Individual investors have been excluded from the advantages of large trading firms and lawmakers. Taking away individual investor RIGHTS to invest in leveraged & Inverse funds is just another ball & chain on individuals in their strides towards financial independence from Government. If an individual had invested in a triple leveraged S&P index fund for the last 10 years,
I am THE only person that should be able to choose investments that are right for me and my family. I do not want or need YOUR decisions imposed on me. I use leveraged and inverse funds to help me protect my investments or enhance my returns depending on market conditions. Restricting me to do so while allowing so called "professionals" to use the same techniques is abhorrent
I am an individual investor with approximately 40 years of investment experience. From time to time, based on market conditions, I have found it prudent to invest in leveraged and inverse exchange traded funds (ETFs).

I understand that all the money I invest can be lost. If people dont understand this then that is on them. Thats why they have a 401k and not their own self directed IRA or brokerage account. Im not against having to pass a small test or
I do not agree with FINRA's proposal of restricting access to leveraged ETFs. I am an educated investor and 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. I have used leveraged ETFs prudently and as short term trades to increase my returns and wealth. I have used
It is imperatively important that investors can choose the public investments they want to invest in. These investments should be available to all public investors, not just the privileged ones. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and have been investing for many years. I do not need your regulations imposed on me. My trading investment activities are my
This is to respectfully request that you DO NOT apply blanket and arbitrary rules that restricts investors access to publicly listed and traded securities. All investing incurs risk.
