This is extremely disturbing information that FINRA would seek to limit individual investor access to more complex investment products. Retail investors are already saddled with significant disadvantages. This only serves to further stack the regulations against them. I invested in leveraged products fully aware of the inherent risks. To take these investments away from those retail investors that know and understand these risks in the name of protection is disingenuous at best.

Keep investing in the hands of the people. Leveraged funds are nearly all that I use to invest and I have had success with them. Rather than restrict what we have access to, keep the market a free market where we can seek enhanced returns based upon our own decisions on how to invest. ALL investing tools have risk, not just leveraged funds. There is no need to take these tools away from the average brokerage client except that you want to take power away from the people. Reconsider, and stop the power grab.

I should be allowed to pick the investments that are appripriate for my portfolio and not have limitations to the type of investments that are available.

I use inverse funds when the market trend is down to offset losses in other investments and to make money when the market goes down. There is no reason the average person can't understand what I do as it is very simple and straight forward.

Please do not put these additional regulations on me. This would put me at a disadvantage and not allow me to build my portfolio as quickly as I need to retire.
