I strongly oppose FINRA Regulatory to restrict my right to utilize leveraged and inverse funds to make my investment choices. I use them extensively to hedge and to extend returns; and by regulating them, you are taking my freedom of investment choices. I believe this regulation also could lead to unfair or even discriminatory treatment of investors; regulation favorable toward high net worth
Dear Sirs;
I strongly object to any rulings curtailing my ability to trade and buy leveraged and inverse funds, and dozens of other popular
investments deemed to be complex by regulators.
I am highly qualified to make my own investment choices and clearly understand the risks involved and I DO so in full knowledge of those complex structures. They ENHANCE AND PROTECT MY OVERALL INVESTMENT
I find it troubling that you are considering making unreasonable restrictions on my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, for several reasons. I should be able to make my own decisions without your blessings, you know nothing about me. Also this will severely hamper my ability to be successful with stock investing. I don't think anyone is more concerned about my financial
I am upset about this restriction. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my 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.

The 2 and 3 times leveraged ETFs have been one of the most innovative and practical financial tools for my portfolio management. Leveraged ETFs are my main tool to hedge my portfolio volatility without liquidating my stocks and attempting to rebuy them later. No further regulation is necessary. There are countless ways to
I should not have to go through a special process in order to invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. We are capable of understanding the risk and do not need special treatment. Leverage and Inverse funds have helped protect my investments, but are a limited portion of overall portfolio.

I am opposed to the restrictions FINRA is proposing on the ability of retail investors to buy leveraged and inverse ETFs. For one, this is an impugnment on basic freedom that the US is supposed to stand for. I am more than capable of reading the basic documentation for these funds and understanding the risks I choose to take. They are also critically important to my investing strategy and
Dear FINRA,
Having been an investor for over 50 years, I feel that your proposed new regulations are going to essentially restrict
access to important tools necessary to successfully INVEST in the financial markets. The institutions and BIG BOYS will not be affected but the individual investor will certainly be hampered by these restrictions. Instead of levelling the playing field, these will
I believe that restricting access to these investments what hurt far more people than just allowing the risk to be there. I believe the majority of investors understand that funds that offer higher returns come with higher risk. It is already made clear in the prospectuses of every fund.
