Dear Sirs; This country was founded on liberty. Please do not pass these draconian regulations. Respectfully, J. F. Crane
Please do not take away or make it more difficult for people to use leveraged and inverse funds. I can understand why it may be good to provide people that have never used them with some education first. But, for people like myself that have years of experience using them they should be allowed to continue.
I strongly disagree with the addition of any new oversight related to leveraged and particularly inverse etf's. I use them to hedge/protect my family's assets particularly in periods of heightened volatility, which is becoming increasingly frequent as the machines/algorithms have taken over trading (an area that regulators don't appear to be overly concerned with).
As a long-time trader and investor, I have always believed that it is up to each individual to understand the instruments that he or she invests in. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are no different: they have some unique risks, but also unique rewards which make them particularly well-suited to short-term hedging and even speculating. The playing field is already tilted in favor of institutional
Dear FINRA,
I am having a difficult time understanding why you may want to regulate complex investments. Ive been a stock and ETF investors for years. A core part of my investment strategy is the use of Leveraged and Inverse ETFs.

I am aware of the risks of investment in Proshares LEVERAGED AND INVERSE FUNDS, and I am willing to take the risk. I believe the decision should be left to the discretion of the investor, not the regulators. Public investments should be available to all public , not to a small group of privileged people.
I oppose restrictions to my right to investing, including restricting the buying of inverse funds. I am a small independent investor for my own retirement portfolio, and being able to hedge against market volatility is critical. Please don't take away the rights of small, individual investors.
I'm 74 years old, been doing this since 1980. Don't need your help on this, thank you. If you really want to help, how about easing up on all the barriers to investing in start-ups for nonaccredited investors. That would be a help. How 'bout it?
investors who are comfortable and educated on the risks and should be able to continue use leveraged funds to meet your investing goals.
As an individual investor, I should have easy access to leveraged products. They are part of a balanced portfolio and I use them regularly as part of a larger strategy. Raising the bar for me to use them puts me, as an individual retail investor, at a disadvantage.
