I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I also should not have to take a test or go through ay other special process as I have a very good financial advisor who makes sure I understand my investments and any risks involved. I don't need these measures imposed on me.

In light of the new proposed regulation that ProShares has made me aware of I thought I should make my feelings known. There are many complex investment opportunities, and it is incumbent on the investor to educate himself on the risks. The government should protect us from fraud but not from ourselves. I am a free man, a living soul with a mind to make my own choices. Well written disclosures
I am a long term, experienced investor and have been involved in many different trading types and styles. I understand the risks involved in leveraged trading and inverse funds and therefore reserve the right to continue to trade these.
I some times use leveraged funds when I can see that a market is heading in a particular direction to help boost my portfolio and very rarely have more than one
Finra, you should investigate big hedge fund who are manipulating the market rather than going after small guy. People know what they doing when they invest in leveraged funds. There are clear warnings from broker. These securities do not pose any significant risk to the market. In fact, these securities are the safest way to express bull or bear interest in particular sector or broad market.
There is no reason to impose this restriction. Investors are already accepting risks when opening an account and imposing harsher restrictions only serves to make average investors have bigger hurdles to cross when it comes to returns over a long period of time. The free market should remain free, passing an arbitrary test does not mean someone is a better investor.
Stop putting more
To FINRA Regulators,
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies, especially during periods like right now where the stock market is going down most of the time or theres much turmoil. I understand that leveraged and inverse funds and their risks but I have been trading them for months. Everything is fine.
I should be able to
I totally oppose regulations (restrictions) to my right to invest. It is my ability and education and experienced that guides me in my investment decision. If I make or lose money it is on me. My fault or my credit. That is the American way. I do not want to see regulators controlling my investments. For what purpose? To protect me? In America risk is rewarded and punished. That is the
Comments:I have used leveraged ETFs for many years. I am very aware of the risks and benefits. They have mostly served me very well because I know when and how to use them. I dont need or want some government bureaucrat, who probably knows nothing about investing, to limit my investment options. The only thing this administration knows how to do is take my hard earned money and give it away.
Please do not limit the average person's ability to trade leveraged and inverse ETFs. Add an option requirement like options if you must, but please do not take away yet another tool less wealthy investors can use to maximize the value of their trades. Risk is an inherent part of the market and just because something is risky does not mean that it can't be understood by the
Please don't tell me what I can and can't invest in. Being a small investor is tough enough without those in charge putting more and more roadblocks and restrictions. The vast majority understand the risks of investing and don't need to be treated like children with "Cooling off periods" that smack of a 5-yr-old being given a timeout.
