I believe everyone should have the same privilege to choose their investment. There shouldn't be a special test for the public investors to gain right to invest in such investment like leveraged and inverse funds. I believe in the US economy and long term leveraged bet on US economy is the only way to gain the financial freedom. Please don't take this away from me.
People have the right to take risks on investments they choose to willingly participate. This is a tremendous overreach of freedom to do with one's money as they please. By this proposed rule's logic by FINRA, no one should be allowed to gamble without an approval process and testing (as well as cooling-off period) on how the gamble-based game they are about to play works and
I'm invested in a few products that I signed onto prior to prototype development. some of them needed the startup capital to build the prototype in the first place. Some only work within a full network of prototypes. Requiring testing limits creativity only to those with significant resources. This negatively affects investors and inventors and undermines prospective small business
I would like to assert that I want to have the freedom and flexibility to choose the investments that I deem appropriate for me and my family, especially leveraged and inverse funds. These funds allow us the opportunity to protect some of my existing investments. I don't wish to be subjected to any special process, like taking a test, before I can invest in them.
To whom it may concern,
I decide how I want to invest my money. I do not want a bureaucrat deciding for me. I've been a stock investor for 50 years and I trade the inverse and leveraged ETF's as a hedge on my portfolio. I understand how the are priced. I really do not need FINRA telling me to take some kind of test.
I want to choose the public investments that are useful and right for me. The investment should be available to all public, not just few with privileged body of people. I should be able to invest anytime not going thru certain brokers, passing tests including cryptocurrency fund as BITO. Cryptocurrency is new way of diversifying my investment for balancing my portfolio.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on you.
An individual not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for himself and his family. I shouldn't have to go through any special process, like passing a test, before I can invest in public securities, such as leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. Please, Do Not allow this proposed change.
Investors should not be vented with personal investment decisions. The prospectus outlines all extra risks and no one should be tested or censored by anyone if a decision to invest personally. I have a right to do what I want with my own money. Regulators should not harass investors with rules about purchases in leverage/geared investments and pay more attention to crypto?
