Once again, people in government want to do what's best for you. Our elected representatives want to be able to control how I trade leveraged funds. I don't get to chose how my elected representatives trade, yet I am consistently taken advantage of by my elected representatives. Think about how ridiculous it is to only let people of very high net worth trade leveraged funds in their brokerage accounts. This is a free country per say, I make my own financial choices, not my elected representatives. Clearly this is just another sign that my elected officials are completely out of control.

The fact that individuals can gamble and can't invest is ridiculous and sickening. Thousands struggle with gambling addiction and yet casinos are everywhere. Yet honest, logical individuals cannot invest in the way they see fit. Passing this regulation would be a disgrace and harmful for those like me trying to beat inflation which this country has created and burdened it's citizens with.

Hi, I've many years experience in stock investment and I have large investment in stocks, Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I understand it's risk and reward! I purchase SQQQ and SPXU as hedge to my tech investments and other stocks. I also seek enhanced returns by trading SQQQ and SPXU. However, leveraged and inverse funds are small portion of my portfolio but they are essential part of my investment strategies.

If i invest my own money, i should be FREE to choose wherever that is, with enough sense to know , there is risk in any investment instrument. A sure investment free of risk doesnt exist, if you stop certain funds, then all investment opportunities must also go, because ALL come with risk.That is free enterprise, in what is supposed to be a Free Nation

Leveraged and inverse ETF's do not need any further regulations. These ETF's provide much need flexibility for the investor. Additional regulations are just one more example of government employees of the Nanny State that impose regulations that restrict personal choice "for the individual's own good". Spend your time looking for crooks not restricting our individual freedoms. Thank you.

Dear FINRA Regulators, I am opposed to the use of regulation that applies to only some classes of investors, but not others. For too long, the big investors have always had tools that they can use to navigate, or even manipulate, the market place, while the small investors are left without these tools. A market place with unequal access is not fair and is more easily manipulated by the small group of investors with greater access. Please allow all investors to have access to the same tools, so that all investors can benefit from market innovations.

Dear regulators, it is very important for me to have the freedom to use inverse and/or leveraged ETF's in real time and on a minutes notice, as part of my IRA account strategies. Without it, my retirement would be in jeopardy. I strongly oppose the proposed rule. Thank you.

Let investors invest how they want. The crooked elite up top already make billions off of us by illegal practices. Don't make it harder for retail investors to make money in the US stock market. Quit with the [REDACTED] overreaching regulations that seem as if they are "for the benefit of "us investors" when really, it's only to help the hedge funds, etc,more effectively and freely rip of the country. It's disgusting.

Attention FINRA regulators: Investors don't need a nanny and you ought to stay out of the way and let people win and lose, so they can experience both outcomes. This is one of many things wrong with our country today. Risk mitigation enforced by governing bodies, that deprives the populace of experiencing life itself, among other things. It creates a dangerous loop of never experiencing consequences, which leads to complacency and weak minds What's next? Seat belts required on everyone's home furniture?

Please allow investors to make their own decisions on funds and securities they choose to invest in. I have personally been making my own investment decisions for several decades now. Leveraged investments are important to my strategies as I am able to stay ahead of market conditions (like inflation) vs. barely breaking even with non-leveraged investment options. Having to prove my means and abilities are contrary to a free capital markets mindset that each individual should have as a self-evident right.
