Comments:I cant believe the FINRA what to interfere with the small investors making a few extra percentage points on their money. Leveraged Efts are one of the only places a small investor is on a level playing field in the marketplace.Sure theirs risk but thats what made America the land of opportunity. A Small investor can go long or short just like the futures without worrying about the exchanges running your stops and blowing out your account. That is what you really should be looking into.

Please don't limit access to the leveraged and inverse (L&I) funds. These funds are good investment tools to compliment my investment portfolio. They follow the many market indexes and therefore are more stable and non-bankruptcy prone unlike stocks. These L&I funds are less risky than investing in individual stocks because these funds have more stocks within their fund design average out the risk. In history, many large stocks have gone bankrupt. Enron, Lehman brothers, etc these have wiped out investor's savings. Do we limit investments in stocks?

Comments: FINRA is misplaced with this indicated intent on leveraged ETFs. All financial instruments and transactions have complexity. All people have brains and they can use them - to make their own choices, do their own research, and get help and advice where they deem it necessary. Transactions with these and any ETF are purely voluntary and disclaimers are clear and numerous. No new rules or regulations regarding leveraged ETF are necessary. Thank you,

PLEASE, DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. I HAVE LOST MORE MONEY THAN I MADE, BUT IT IS MY MONEY, NOT YOURS. STOP MAKING THIS COUNTRY A COMMUNIST ONE. ADULTS MUST INVEST THEIR (NOT YOURS) MONEY AS THEY PLEASE, AS LONG AS IT IS LEGAL. DON'T YOU DARE MAKE ILLEGAL WHAT IS AND MUST REMAIN LEGAL.

I don't believe there is any need to enhance current rules for "complex products" as I don't believe leveraged and inverse funds are complex. The information provided by brokerages are enough information.

Emphasis should be on transparency, education, and understandable disclosures. limiting or restricting access takes away choices.

Comments: The notion of limiting my ability to trade leveraged ETF is horrifying. This is over-reach and Big Brother at its worst. It is not for you to decide my appetite for risk.

regarding the potential further restriction of leveraged ETFs : an investor does not him/herself borrow money to invest in a leveraged ETF, they simply buy it as they would any other security like a stock or bond. I personally invest in leveraged ETFs that track broad indices such as the S&P 500. Although these will be volatile, as they are levered, it is HIGHLY unlikely that they'd "go to zero" as the index would have to fall ~33% in a single trading day for that to happen to a 3x levered ETF.

Comments: Please do not make inverse and leveraged etf's accessible only to the rich. Current disclaimers are effective.
