Dear FINRA, As a 64 year old physician who has been investing in stocks since 1998, I feel that I am quite competent to assess the risks of my various investment choices. Aside from stocks, bonds, and similar 'paper' assets, I have investments in both real estate and collectables. As such, I feel very strongly that despite what undoubtedly are good intentions, FINRA should refrain from implementing regulations barring me from investing in so-called 'complex' investment vehicles such as leveraged funds and inverse funds.
