Who are you to say what is too "complex" for the average person to trade? Why take away a legitimate tool to help us hedge down turns with inverse funds or make up for losses with leveraged funds? Brokers already require we read documents and know the risks associated.
How about you worry about something that actually matters like naked short selling, short selling in general
I should have the right to determine what, if any, investments are right for me. I do not want "big brother" treating me like a child and regulating what currencies, if any, that I choose. Everything in life is risky. We "little people" have the right to take on risks just as much as you elitists do. It's simply not fair for you rich people to run our
a. Public investments should be able to all of the public, not just the privileged
b. I am well capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds together with the risks and certainly don't need special tests / process to pass before we can invest in these types of securities.

Dear FINRA, It is imperative consideration for Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 be discontinued. The funds in question provide individual investors the means to easily diversify and balance exposure over multiple asset classes.

It's my money and I should be able to invest it how I desire! All investments are at risk! Other instruments do not require such ridiculous proposed mandates which limits a U.S. citizen's ability to invest. This is a travesty to have government dictate who can invest in which instruments based on knowledge, wealth, and permission from his/her financial advisor. Please vote against this
We as investors should be free to choose what we invest in including Leveraged/Non-leveraged ETFs. I don't want any barriers installed that would prevent me and my fellow investors from investing in these. We are solely responsible for OUR money and the risk we take with it is our business. I don't want altruists determining what is good for me. Further, Leveraged funds help
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
