I do not need a regulatory board telling me I am too poor or too under informed to take a risky financial investment. I should have equal rights to all other investors.
I am categorically opposed to limitations of trading leveraged and inverse securities. No one but me should decide how I invest my money. I don't need babysitters when I make financial decisions.

Dont control my right to invest in leveraged funds. My risk, my reward. I agree that financial protection is important but it should be done through education not regulations that limit my investing.

I support the regulation. It is our civic responsibility to deter suicidal actions and for many self deemed investors this is exactly what these financial instruments afford. FINRA has been, and is doing, the right thing.
Stop restricting Americans abilities to have a successful financial future. You don't restrict us from failing so don't restrict us from successes, know your place.
Please cease and desist with any plans to alter my ability to make financial decisions on my own behalf! I do NOT need a caretaker, custodian, or any other government assistance here.
