Another invasion of Americans personal freedom. Leveraged and inverse funds are publicly traded and have been approved
for the public to trade. I understand the risks and have an understanding of these entities. There is no need to impose any kind of regulations or added requirements to any tools I use in my investment strategies.

Dear Sirs, equity markets are critical to the world economies and financial system. Restricting or eliminating the use of any instrument potentially reduces liquidity in these markets. Sophisticated investors use a variety of instruments in their portfolios. I use leveraged index ETFs as a hedge. Restricting or eliminating leveraged index ETFs will significantly impact my investment strategy.
The only thing this rule does is protect the investor/white collar class and restrict the freedom of small investors that have an education, such as a double major in banking and financial institutions (like me), but not cooperate sponsorship nor high net worth.

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
