Leveraged and Inverse funds provide an important tool in managing investments. I've utilized these funds during the past several months to hedge my exposure in a challenging market. I've been able to remain invested in strong companies that pay dividends, while reducing my exposure to a substantial loss during market corrections. These funds provide an important tool to retirees that place a priority on preservation of capital.

I strongly oppose putting restrictions on investment options available today including the leveraged ETFs. Please help expand investment choices to retail investors. Thank you.

ProShares is same as all other investment such as equities, options, futures, and Forex. They has it's own risk and reward. Restrictions on one asset is not fair. Investors should have the right and freedom to pick their investment; and should not have to go through any special process of test. I am strongly object.

Don't limit leveraged ETFs. There is too much inequality as there is already.

Public investment should be open to all of the public, not just the privileged as a protection of fairness.

I , not regulators should be able to choose investments that make sense for my situation such as leveraged and inverse funds.

These funds are important to me to hedge my investment portfolio.

FINRA is concerned about the little investor using leveraged ETFs? This is not about protecting the little investors. It's about what some large investment firms want. This is the second assault on these investment products. Back in December of 2015 the SEC Chair Mary Jo White tried to rein in leveraged index funds. It's funny the concern over the individual investors when back in 1999 we saw the repeal of the Glass-Stegall Act. This set the stage for what Warren Buffett called "weapons of finical destruction".

I have been a long investor in leveraged etf for 3+ years. I dont want to be required to pass tests to continue investing in it. And if people put money into it they should be prepared to lose it whether its leveraged etf or stock as I have.

I have been investing in a Leveraged ETF since 2009 with good results and do not need regulators to restrict my ability to continue investing in this or any other ETF. I will assess the risk and do not need some regulator with little or no investment experience to limit my investment choices.

My first impression of this proposal is that it is a reaction to activities of individuals during the recent pandemic. Those who followed Wall Street Bets chasing meme stocks succumbed to, as Glenn Frey wrote in Smugglers Blues, "The lure of easy money is a very strong disease." As such the cure for such affliction would be better found with "Gamblers Anonymous" than regulation of financial instruments.
