Attn: FINRA I do NOT want to be restricted as to when and how I invest my monies for my personal financial satisfaction. I've had to invest outside of a major brokerage; now choosing ProShares funds for this reason. I'm a senior citizen with many years of managing my own investments and am well aware of the risks life and ALL investments present and do NOT need to be further advised. Do
I should be able to choose the public investments that I determine right for me. While I appreciate the regulators intention, they should not infringe on the retail investors RIGHT to trade all publicly traded funds when the risks are well known.

My leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies and help
I do not support regulators imposing unnecessary burdens on investors that limit our ability to access publicly traded securities. This is a push from special interests to drive business to them and limit the ability of individuals to make investments as they see fit. Leveraged ETFs are a small part of my portfolio and are used to enhance returns. I am fully aware of the risks of the compounding
No new regulations need to be added. Protecting retail investors is just an excuse. Everyone enters knowing the risk they face.
