I am a retired insurance business owner and am solely responsible for investing and trading my retirement funds. I use Inverse and Leveraged funds to hedge my portfolio insurance to protect, preserve and grow my portfolio. As a small investor it is vital for me to have use of these tools to use as I see fit without interference from any other authority(s).

Investment choices should be at the sole discretion of the investor. If not then this takes away from each persons freedom of choice.

I strongly protest these proposed changes.

I can certainly understand the agency's desire to protect the public but if you are inclined to invest, then you should take it upon yourself to become educated about what it is you are investing in. Limitations on leverage funds such DGAZY and TZA might have some benefit. However, limiting inverse funds is going to far. Leveraged funds which could be used to protect gains are far easier to use than put options. It doesn't seem quite fair that limiting inverse and leverage funds to the institutional investor is reasonable either.

I reserve the right to invest the money I earn however I see fit. Tell Democrats this is the last straw for me.

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 oppose limitation on my investment!

I oppose limitations on my investment, I will love to keep investing with no limitation .

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I do not want to be restricted from to buying and leveraged funds

I am opposed to legislation that would restrict my ability to invest in those ETFs and funds which I want. People should be made aware of the risks, but then allowed to invest in whatever they want. These restrictions are unfair to average middle-class investors.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is thinking of regulating a broad range of public securities they deem "complex". This scheme is MISGUIDED and could deny me the freedom to achieve long-term security. The scheme is arbitrary and unworkable and would allow
