Dear FINRA Regulators,
In a free country, is it not the people, rather than unelected regulators, who get to decide what to do with their own money? That's what living in a free country is all about: individual liberty AND personal responsibility. In the market place, this plays out as the opportunity for reward and the possibility of risk. Virtually every trader knows that they may lose
The rights of individuals to invest any funds they have available in any way they see fit is central to U.S. customary freedom. Investment funds offered through US exchanges are already regulated in may ways. It is not the role of our government to regulate investors. If our government FINRA wants to help consumer investors, work with the FCC to stop the continuous scam barrage through phone
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I should not have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities including cryptocurrency funds such as BITO. I am capable of understanding cryptocurrency funds such as BITO
When tyrants in third-world dictatorships want to steal freedoms from their citizens, they shamelessly grab them.
When tyrants in first-world "sophisticated" nations want to steal freedoms from their citizens, they grab them under the guise of "safety" and "security."
Your latest attempt to limit retail access to leveraged and inverse
To whom it may concern,
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!!!
Every individual investor, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that make sense for them and their families. Furthermore, public investments should be available to ALL of the public, not just the privileged investor.
It is disturbing that more and more regulations are being imposed on everyday
Good morning.
I think these proposed regulations are messed up. Just yesterday I was reading how Fidelity is allowing bitcoin in retirement accounts (that Ponzi scheme is something that MIGHT be worth your time, but not this). I live in America and I don't want or need our government limiting me. I want the same opportunity to make money as everyone else. Please stop making more and
Having been an investor in Inverse and Leveraged funds over the last several years, I am strongly opposed to any governmental restrictions on my freedom and right to invest in these public investment securities. Like Cigarettes', requiring the current warning labels is as far as the government should go to warn the public about the risks involved. .Any further restrictions on the publics
To price Americans out of investing instruments or to impose any measures that keep retail investors from accessing investment instruments is just about as un-American as it gets. Many investors, myself included, find leveraged and inverse ETFs as unique opportunities to obtain margin without needing a margin-enabled account or without taking on direct debt to invest in the stock market.

- I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of 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 am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these
To Whom It May Concern:
I oppose adding undo burden on individual investors in relation to inverse and leveraged funds. Current disclosures are quite specific about the risks and intended timeframe of such investments -- almost forbiddingly so.
