Dear FINRA
Do not take away our ability to invest/trade leveraged and inverse ETFs. I understand the risk and I use it for hedging. Also remember, long term returns of DIA:TNA, SPY:UPRO, QQQ:TQQQ are approximately 1:3 as expected.
At least do not take away the rights to trade these. Broad Index based leveraged and inverse ETFs in due course are not risky. Please look at the data.

Please continue retail investors the ability to purchase leveraged ETFs. It is a vital piece of my investment strategy.

This is completely unfair to the retail investor and is just another example of trying to limit the people's rights on investments. Using leveraged funds are essential in day trading, especially when day trading. We as individuals are completely capable in self-sufficient research without having to pass any forms of tests. Public investments are meant for the public, not just the elite.

Please do NOT make any regulations or changes to the ways leveraged funds are traded. Especially with the recent downturn of the stock market, you would take away people's chances to recover from the recent downfall, and regulations would cost individuals thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, per person.

Dear FINRA,

I respectfully ask you to please refrain from enacting any additional regulations on this type of funds. A statement that notifies the buyer of the risk already has to be signed!
There is no need for any additional onerous regulations in buying this type of fund in a free market environment.
The purchase of these funds should not be limited to the super wealthy or financial experts only. This type of fund or funds provides the ability to hedge or balance one's portfolio.
Thank you.

Comments:Leveraged and inverse ETFs are very helpful to hedge my position, especially in this wild market without obvious direction.

I am responsible for my own trades and should not be limited by other parties.

Investing comes with risk. Investors, and not the government, are responsible for understanding and managing that risk.

Proposed limits on access to leveraged and inverse funds have no place in a public market. Individual investors are the appropriate judges of these investments' suitability for their particular investment plans. Plenty of sound advice is available for newbies, if needed, at a reasonable cost. The US regulatory regime is already outrageous, handicapping US citizens compared to nationals of other Western nations. Many foreign institutions refuse to deal with us at all, because of the reporting burden you place on them.

It is horrible that regulators are trying to stop me from using leveraged etfs. Stop! I have a right to invest in leveraged etfs.
