Dear FINRA,
Please do not remove my right to purchase leveraged ETFs. The general public should not be required to have special privileges to have access to these financial instruments.

As a disabled veteran, I would be greatly shamed to see these actions go through and see millions of people in my salary scale be unable to invest in Proshares products.
