Hello, I heard about the information that you potentially limit the trading of some ETFs using leveraged and reverse strategies. I strongly be against it, because I believe it's my right to choose the public investments that suit for my family and myself, not the regulators. Moreover, these ETFs are important to my investment strategies. So, please respect the rights of individual
Similar to your accredited investor restrictions in Alternative Investments, you are doing more than you are worth. If people are not researching/making informed investing decisions then that is their prerogative but why do you feel the need to restrict those of us that have? Another waste of tax payer dollars through a bureaucratic government agency pretend to play the role of parent

Individuals have a right to invest their money where and how they see fit. I do not have an issue with brokers issuing notices and warnings to investors before they invest in risky securities. However many of us have done their due diligence when it comes to research and risk analysis. The role of regulators in this particular case should be to INFORM, not restrict.
I do not need nor do I want a nanny to tell me what I can or can not do with my own money. It should not matter how much or how little I have to invest. It is none of your business whether I have educated myself in safe or responsible investing. What you should be policing is fraud and misleading investment information.
I should be able to choose my own investments. There is plenty of information available for understanding the risks and benefits of leveraged and inverse funds. They are an extremely important tool for hedging other investments. FINRA should not limit my ability to manage my own investments as I see fit. All public investments should be available for anyone to buy, sell or hold.
