FINRA should not impede retail traders. FINRA should instead regulate institutions to prevent them from taking too large positions all on one side as seen with so called "meme stocks". Institutions all have the same information, they all bet on the same side of futures and create volatility far in excess of their ability to cover positions.

Leveraged and inversely leveraged ETF are not complex products. They are more risky, but not complex. It would be great to keep current regulations unchanged when trading these ETFs.

Regulators are spending a lot of time informing traders on ways they cant get make money. Its awful to see big name companies and hedge funds find ways to stay rich while regulators focus on stopping retail traders from trading. We dont tell regulators how to do their jobs but we constantly have to hear from then on how we can trade.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Times are changing and people are capable of educating themselves and shouldn't have to pass a test to invest in specific options. this is clearly an attempt to make the wealthy wealthier and keep the current finance regime of banks and hedge funds in place.

I think I can choose the public investments, that are right for me and my family.
I can understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. they help my protect (hedge) my investments or seek enhanced returns.I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio.
我有多年投资股票、ETF和期货的经验，常年关注全球重大事件，并且能够通过这些事件对投资市场和大宗商品的影响，判断对市场是利多还是利空，进而做出合理的投资策略。
我的投资策略包括：资金管理，趋势判断，买入点位，止损位，止盈位，卖出点位。并且在每笔交易完成后，都进行投资总结。因此，能够充分理解带杠杆的ETF和正反向ETF的优势和风险。

I not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I do not want these measures imposed on me and am offended by suggesting such. Leveraged and invers funds are a major part of my continued investment strategy, when "I" feel it is the right time to invest in them.

We don't need to be regulated to death. We are sick of constantly being told what and how to do something. Let US DECIDE. Ppl want to invest let us invest. Stop the madness.

Regardless of what (if any) action is taken on this notice, the decision to invest must be with the investor. Limiting retail traders' use of complex instruments represents a dangerous slippery slope. I'm all in favor of curbing advertisements for these products. Likewise, leveraged products should provide clear disclosures detailing their risk profiles and internal workings. However, denying investors the ability to hedge (with option sales or inverse ETFs for instance) makes them easy prey to those that can.

This is unacceptable regulatory overreach. We understand and invest in these types of funds and should not be prohibited from doing so!

I am an individual investor, 68 years old. Over the past 10 years I taught myself about leveraged and inverse funds, using literature readily available in our city library and sponsors' websites. The operation of funds such as UVXY and SVXY is understandable to people like me without specialized financial training. I use these successfully for diversifying the return-versus-risk profile of my portfolio.
