to whom it may concern. i oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged funds that are available for publics. leveraged funds play critical roles in my investment strategy and i am well aware of the risks in investing/trading in these funds. in fact, risks in buying these funds are too clear so that no tests or measurement of knowldege is required. hopefully FINRA regulators leave theses
The general investor or public should have the ability and complete control of which investments they choice not regulators! No additional tests should be required to invest in leveraged or inverse funds and no additional measures should be imposed on the me for the lack of understanding for the funds by a select few. By this logical all funds would have to be illegal as some in the general

like leveraged and inverse funds. I do not need these measures imposed on me and am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies, since I use leverage and inverse funds, including

I am well educated on the working of the stock market and it's various products, including leveraged and inverse funds.
