I have been using leveraged etfs for 15 years and find them to be a useful and basic part of my portfolio.

ETFs like ProShares ETF like UCO/SCO is a scam to rip-off individual investors, as these ETF do not provide transparency as why they do not balance out to what they promise of 1.5x or 2x return, check the daily price of UCO/SCO for the past month, they should be fined for not balancing their daily operations and the directors of ProShares and Direxion should put in jail and throw away the keys

Non-accredited investors are already discriminated against through exclusion from private equity and initial series of funding for new start-ups. FINRA protection from risk/profit is not helping, it is hurting small investors. Taking away small investorss ability to utilize leveraged or inverse ETFs prevents them from any chance of hedging. It is criminal and discriminatory. I have had enough of your protection from risk/profit, and FINRA must allow me to manage my own risk. Small investors are fully capable of researching the risk and accepting it.

I have been using inverse and leveraged funds for at least 15 years, typically as hedges during periods of market decline or high volitality. I invested our portfolio exclusively in stocks for over 15 years on my own, and even though Im now old enough (74) to be mostly invested in funds instead of stocks, I still use inverse and leveraged funds to meet my long term investment goals. Im am strongly of the opinion that individuals should invest intelligently, understanding risk.

it's time to stop the dictators trying to take over all our God given rights

It is not a regulators job to determine what I can and cannot invest in. It is a regulators job to make sure that crooks aren't selling fraudulent investments. A person should always be allowed to do whatever they wish with their own money, and they shouldn't be overly taxed on the money they have made for themselves.

Hello, I Andrew Hines believe I should be allowed to invest in any ETF, reverse fund, or any publicly traded company on my own free will. I believe anyone who puts their money in the market understands the risks involved including loss of funds. There is no such thing as a safe market especially during these times. The money I earned should be allowed to be used in whatever legal means I choose.

Stop over regulation of investments. This investment is public and should be available to the public!

That is a bad rule. investors should reject this

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I don't want to be restricted in my investment portfolio.
