I believe that individual investors should be able to invest in various financial instruments at their own discretion. Investing with our own money should not have to be baby sat by any regulatory agencies. I am completely aware of all risks associated with leveraged ETFs and have been able to work through many market conditions trading in and out of them.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before investing in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their
Please don't limit our ability to choose what we would like to invest in, whether it's an inverse fund or exponential or both. I shouldn't have to go through a special process or test. I get warning already when I purchase or sell leveraged ETFs so I'm quite aware of the risks associated with the investment strategies. Thanks.
To FINRA regulators,
It is unimaginable and blatant discrimination that you would even consider which stocks or etf's a person may or may not trade. I am fully aware of the risk associated with trading leveraged and inverse funds and they are an important portfolio tool. You need to either ban leveraged and inverse funds completely for EVERYONE or leave things as they are.

Hello, I believe everyone should be able to choose the public investments that are right for them and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I use them for hedging, as well as investing at times of downturn, like today. I am perfectly capable of understanding their
Please reconsider limiting who may invest in leveraged funds and inverse funds. We are quickly seeing only those who are already financially established being allowed to invest in securities that have potential for high upside. As such, the cards are being stacked against the average investor, even those who are willing to educate themselves and accept the risks.
I have used inverse ETFs for over twenty years, well aware that they are risky investments. Yet they are important to diversify away and/or risk-manage my core "long" positions. Losing this functionality would seriously INCREASE the risk in my investment process. Please do not block or qualify the use of inverse ETFs any more than at present.
If it's money that I earned, then I should have the right to invest freely as I choose. I am responsible for the money my family has and we invest according to the amount of risk we can accept. Why don't "regulators" employ a rigorous process for the people that took out 1.7 trillion dollars in student loans and are now requesting cancellation.
TO whom it may concern,
This regulation is hurting the basic rights for the individual investors.
We have the right to invest in funds that we want without going through any special process to invest in leveraged funds. The risk is shared before making actions and this is important to my long term investment strategies.
Thank you for your consideration
This is an overstep by the regulatory authority. Investors should be able to continue to purchase inverse and leveraged funds. This is an infringement on the basic rights of investors. People who purchase these types of funds obviously have the knowledge of what they are doing. If your concerned about lack of consumer knowledge then have them sign some type of form that they acknowledge the risks
