I use inverse funds as a simple hedging strategy for reducing risk in my investments. There is nothing complicated with doing this. It is a commonly used strategy. Taking away my ability to use this strategy is not helpful to me as an investor.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies, public investment tools should be available to all public with no restriction, the decision of what tools to use for investment should come from the investor, not regulators. Restrict to use the public Leveraged and inverse funds will only make normal people lose the ability to invest smartly and effectively, and harder to do good investment and less chance to succeed on their investment.

The free availability of leveraged and inverse Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) shares are an absolute benefit to average, individual, small-time investors such as myself. The available prospectus of each fund clearly describes the risks and tells us the proper cautions.

PLEASE DO NOT RESTRICT THE BUYING AND SELLING OF LEVERAGED AND INVERSE FUNDS. THIS REGULATION HAMPERS THE ABILITY OF INVESTORS TO PARTICIPATE FULLY IN THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF SAFEGUARDS AND EXPLICIT WARNINGS IN PLACE FOR AN INVESTOR TO REGARD.

I am capable of making my own decisions in regards to my finances and I do not need any more government involvement. Thank you.

It is an outrage that FINRA is considering limiting these powerful wealth building tools for non-high-net worth individuals. Leveraged Funds have provided some of the most attractive returns over the past ten years, and will almost certainly continue to provide attractive returns as long as global capital markets continue their long bull runs.

I want support on my shares

This will negatively impact the trading capacity of younger, yet informed, traders such as myself.

Dont do it, unless you want to fix naked shorting and synthetic shares

Regulators seem to have more interest in 'protecting investors from themselves' than ensuring that there is a level playing field for all investors, large AND small. They have allowed the big players to use algorithms that cause trading and investing to be erratic and at times, non-sensical. Let individual investors purchase and trade whatever instruments they choose. After all, IT'S THEIR MONEY. Stop trying to control what people do and think.
