I have Best disaster in double in triple S&P 500 and NASDAQ in the investments for many years, as a result I have built up a substantial net worth. Taking these investments away from me would greatly reduce my investment returns. So long as people understand what they are buying I see nothing wrong with them. I am fully aware of the risks involved, Ive been through good times and bad with them. But overall they are very important part of my portfolio.

You have not presented any evidence to show that consumers should lose the right to invest. Nor, as far as i know, have you presented any evidence that consumers using leveraged and inverse funds perform less satisfactorily than financial advisors. This appears to be a move to support the financial advisor industry with the restrictions negatively affecting the rest of us. Why are you supporting the "big" guys and gals by restricting the rest of us?

It is important for investors to be able to use inverse funds. You will do a great disservice to the investing public if you disallow this very valuable tool.

I have complete understanding of the securities I buy and the risks associated with them. From options as well as leveraged ETF s

Dear FINRA,

Having been an investor for over 50 years, I feel that your proposed new regulations are going to essentially restrict
access to important tools necessary to successfully INVEST in the financial markets. The institutions and BIG BOYS will not be affected but the individual investor will certainly be hampered by these restrictions. Instead of levelling the playing field, these will make individuals - second class citizens even more so than we are now.
We are burdened with enough regulations, we do not need more.

I oppose limitations on my ability to buying a broad range of public securities designated as complex products which could include the leveraged and inverse funds offered by ProShares.

This is unfair. I should be able to invest in any investment I choose without "pre-qualification".

What FINRA is proposing is class discrimination. You want only the privileged and wealthy to have access to income earning instruments, while the “little” guy/gal is being stripped of their ability to access the same instruments the wealthy have to build wealth. I welcome more education on these products, but NOT bans. Honestly, every so called financial advisor has only tried to scam me. I have yet to see any returns on investments made by financial advisors. On the other hand, I was able to grow my wealth on my own by accessing crypto, options, ETF-s, etc.

Don't restrict the use of inverse funds. They have been helpful to me to hedge risk.

Hello Please do not restrict trading in these etfs. All rules and regulations are quite clear in terms of risks. Amar
