I oppose restrictions to my right to invest and be able to choose the public investments that are right to me and my family. Leveraged and inverse funds are important tools in my investment strategies that help protect my investments when used as a limited part of my overall portfolio, and equitable and non-discriminatory access to them is imperative to public in free market economy and democracy
I am disturbed that once again the wealthy are being given special privileges when it comes to investing. I should be able to decide if public securities such as leveraged and inverse funds makes sense for my own investment portfolio.
I am perfectly capable of studying and understanding financial instruments and by limiting my access to funds you are limiting my opportunities to provide for my
These proposed regulations are outrageous. In a time when markets are posed to melt down, what other hedge does the average investor have but leveraged and inverse funds? These funds are not difficult to understand, certainly no more difficult than the average vastly overvalued equity or byzantine mutual fund.
This seems like a way of preventing normal investors from protecting ourselves in
If regulators want to prevent people from gambling, then restrict the worst first. start be preventing online sports betting. then prevent sports betting at casinos. Then prevent slot machines at casinos.
and if the wish to help small investors, make Robinhood and others disclose how much they are paid for "pay for order flow"

Imposing laws to prohibit and make it harder for the average person to invest is wrong. Actions like this are the reason many people distrust the government and the top 1% income earners.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse

I disagree with the proposal to restrict access to leveraged or inverse funds for several reasons:
1. It is not the government's responsibility to tell me what I am capable of investing in. It is my money, my risk.

3. it is not the government's role to assess or
My name Christopher Cialone. Cryptocurrency has opened up a new world financially, and economically...for the little guys. Bitcoin, and the subsequent alt coins that have followed has given regular everyday people an opportunity to be more hands on with their own finances, to use in tandem with the existing system of finance. I have changed my entire life because of cryptocurrency, and as it
I'm opposed to FINRAs proposed limits that may restrict access to L&I Funds or to disqualify individuals from trading L&I Funds or other complex products. Limiting access to investors should never be the answer. Education of the risks should be, which is what my financial institutions have provided. As an investor I understand that a leveraged ETF has increased
