It's really time for the "Big Brother" to move on from your ill advised attempt to save the peons from themselves.
If a person is not capable of making prudent decisions in their life, including what to invest in, is it the government's job in a democratic, free society to save them from their own stupidity? I think not and don't think that was the
Dear FINRA regulators,
I respectfully and strongly oppose further restrictions on my right to invest. Public securities should be something anyone in the public trading space should have free access to, regardless of income, occupation, net worth, or privilege. This includes leveraged and inverse funds, things I often use to hedge or trade in a tactical manner in my own portfolio. My volatility
I as an educated investor want to make decisions on what I invest in. Public investments should be available to me and all the public not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. I understand quite well what I am investing in when I purchase a leveraged or inverse fund. I understand the risk
Hello,
I feel it is extremely important to write to you regarding restrictions as to what my choices are to invest in. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for myself and my family and those choices should include a broad spectrum of choices and not be limited by regulation.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged which has
My brokerage firm required me to listen to a statement detailing the potential risks for options before I could start trading them. Since options can similarly be used to achieve leverage or inverse returns, I think this is a reasonable requirement for trading in leveraged/inverse funds.

I am disappointed that these onerous regulations are being imposed upon me. I have not harmed anyone with my trading of these investments. I think it is insulting and patronizing that FINRA would impose these restrictions. I think it is unfair that my access to these investment products may be restricted. And for what reason? I've been using leveraged funds for years, and while I
In general, I stick to conservative broad index funds for my investments, especially retirement. That said, I also see value in investing in funds like reverse volatility funds from time to time when the opportunity to benefit from stability presents itself.
I am very well versed in the risks of the market, which is why the majority of my investments are well diversified, but if want to invest a
Regulating what I choose to invest in is not the choice of the government or it's regulators. I completely understand the risk of the investments I choose to invest in for my continued growth and wealth in the markets. Public investments should be available to all of the public not just the privileged few. Going through a special process and testing in order to freely invest into the

Dear Sirs, I am writing today re: Proposed Rule #S7-24-15. This rule should not be adopted for the following reasons: I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family, not you. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few that you deem worthy of making that investment. I shouldn't have to go through any special
