I would like to keep 2x and 3x leverage products without any changes. These are good hedges to protect my investments, without using Options.

Please do not place new restrictions on leveraged or inverse ETFs and traditional mutual funds.

As mutual funds, both ETFs and traditionals are well-regulated and their fee structures are transparent. They are also easy to use through many brokerages.

For an investor who at times wants to use leverage or an inverse position for a short period of time, inverse and leveraged mutual funds are the most convenient way to do so -- compared to, for example, shorting securities or purchasing derivatives (puts) or swaps, which are much more complicated to trade.

I oppose to restrictions to my right to invest.

my choice

As long as the prospectus of the ETF is documented and the fund manager is able to maintain the daily tracking detailed, there should not be additional regulation upon public securities. Having access to specialized products allows knowledgeable investors to properly allocate to their portfolios outside of options or futures, which require higher risk management capacities in comparison to leveraged or inverse ETFs.

Investors should have all the tools the big funds have to help us hedge risk!!!

Please leave it alone!

Hello

I want to keep using levered products in a controlled and responsible manner

I am not a gambler or speculator, rather a long term investor with slightly higher than average risk tolerance. I am young with a high paying job, this is the timing that makes sense to take on higher financial risks for me.

I would like to let FINRA know that I want to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing. I dont want FINRA to change how I invest in ultra, ulteapro and ultra short shares. These are already difficult times for investors please dont make it more difficult for us by causing changes.

I should be able to choose which investments (whether leveraged/inverse or not) to invest in. I fully understand the risks/rewards of leveraged/inverse ETFs. They provide a specific investment strategy within my diversified portfolio. Restricting or eliminating these types of investments would be the same as prohibiting or restricting investors from investing in publicly traded small-cap stocks (or some penny stocks), which may have a higher risks, but also provide a possible higher return. There would be outrage if those were subject to the same proposals.
