FINRA's proposed regulations of Leveraged an Inverse ETF's are harmful and misguided because:
1) I am a free marketer and believe that the individual's right to choose what to invest their hard earned money should be inviolate. Otherwise mal investment is likely and that is a long term moral hazard.
2) We already have too many regulations to "protect" us investors. These regulations have direct and indirect costs. We need deregulation not more regulation.

Hey there dont touch or stop us from being able to invest in Cypto
Or the other funds.

As a citizen of New York I have been oppressed time and time again by regulators trying to protect me. I do not need regulators telling me what I can and cannot invest in. Please allow crypto platforms such as coinbase and ftx to allow us all cryptocurrencys and staking perks available.

I have been invested in this fund for a long time and feel that it is my right to do so. Is this not a free country any longer?

Dear Madam, Sir:
I am writing concerning possible restrictions that may be applied to certain securities like leveraged or inverse funds.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to t

As an stock market investor for many years, I have invested in a broad range of products including leveraged and inverse funds. I am well aware of the additional risks when added to my stock portfolio. Having the continued right to choose these products maintains my freedom to invest in public securities. Today, I use ETFs as a hedge in these volatile markets. I hedge to enhance my returns during this correction where a broad decline in stock prices commences.

cryptocurrencies ARE legitimate minus El Salvador. better than transfer services ( Western Union, Money Gram, RIA each OWE me so much (cancelled-denied-refunded by services- banks.

I should have the freedom to make my own decisions and take full responsibility. I cannot accept these measures you are proposing. Do not treat me like I cannot be responsible. Do not fall back on old outdated rules/laws/thinking. I'm tired of government inserting itself into my life unnecessarily. Please give me the room and respect to make these decisions for myself without interfering.

I have been investing in the stock market for more than twenty-five years. When I invested in individual securities in my early investment years, I wasn't successful at all. After switching to the first ETF, then only leveraged ETFs, my success in investment improved drastically. Eliminating the leveraged ETFs from the choices of investment vehicles is the wrong decision. If the leveraged ETFs are volatile, how about the individual securities, mutual funds, and options.
