The proposed regulation is stupid!!!
I am opposition to such extreme regulation on my ability to purchase leveraged funds.
This is radical and unprecedented threat by regulators and could affect my right to buy dozens of popular public investments, including leveraged and inverse funds.
I Vote NO to this regulation on my rights to invest unhindered!!
I was made aware this morning of a potential change of policy regarding leveraged and inverse funds access. I am highly disappointed to hear this as I currently utilize both leveraged and inverse funds as part of my investing strategy, especially useful to me in this challenging market.
I don't understand what the back story is on why the FINRA is considering limitation or why this is happening now, but I am very concerned and disappointed about this.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for my family and I. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I should not have to go through a special process like passing an SAT before I can invest in public securities. My wife and I both hold advanced degrees and have been in business for over 20 years. We have invested in highly skilled financial advisors who have helped to guide us. We do not need regulators to impose their choices upon my family.
As a research-active Associate Professor of Finance with several publications on ETFs, this is an absolute travesty. There is no substantial evidence in the reduced public welfare due to access to the leveraged vehicles given sufficient and pervasive disclosure of their risks. This is an example of a regulatory overreach harming retail investors and benefitting entrenched industry interests and as such should not be allowed to proceed. I will be contacting my Congress representatives.
Thank you,

If options, futures, and crypto are all fair game, so should these investment devices. I agree with having to sign a waiver and apply to trade them, but banning these funds is not in the best interests of Americans.
Individual investors should have ALL investment products available to them, without restrictions, so they can pursue the investment goals that match their specific risk/reward profile. We are more than capable of understanding complex instruments and how to use them to enhance our potential gains or hedge against losses during downturns. Making these investment types available only to large or 'professional' institutions or wealthy individuals would put regular, individual investors at an even greater disadvantage than we already are.
Hi, FINRA
I am a small investor, and I appose the restrictions on my right to invest the inverse ETF
All stock market is now dramatically dropping, it seems no any policy/regulations can stop the dropping. However, inverse ETFs are extremely powerful tools, which can protect my investment portfolio against the stock market dropping. If I lost the right to use inverse ETF to hedge the market risk, it could be a disaster for my investment at current situation.
Government bureaucrats have no authority to infringe on the rights of free, private individual citizens to make financial decisions. Congress needs to take action to shut down regulators like FINRA who overstep their bounds.
I vehemently oppose this regulation. These products are very helpful in managing risk and hedging a portfolio in volatile times such as now.
