I feel I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for my family and I. All public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged or 1%. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I'm capable of understanding leveraged and inverse
Restricting use of leveraged and inverse ETF's is a step in the wrong direction. Individual investors need tools to help manage risk as much as industry insiders and the wealthy. I use them as a tool to hedge my portfolio. As the market retreated, I put a small percentage, about 2% - 3%, into some of these instruments to decrease my downside.

As an individual who invests in EFTs and other assets using income from a W-2 Job, its very important that I have the freedom to review, research, and pick which products I wish to invest my money.

FINRA regulators, there are so many ways that the ultra-rich can become even wealthier and so many ways to stop the middle-class from doing so. By restricting inverse and leveraged investments you are further limiting the ability of ordinary Americans from having access to the same tools that the elite have. With the abundance of education and information available on the internet it is easier
Request that you do not restrict private investors from trading inverse and leveraged ETFs and funds as they may level the playing field with banks, hedge funds and market makers.
Live and let Live. Let me do with my money what ever I want to do. I already paid taxes on that money, please stay out. Thank you
I understand the risks, please don't lock me out based on net worth.
