I feel it is very important for retail investors to have the same types of ability to buy inverse and leveraged stocks that corporate investors have access to. Denying access to this type of investing would deny retail investors more equal ability to take advantage of bear markets.

Dear FINRA Regulators,

Hi,

I completely understand levered ETFs, and would only suggest you limit inverse ETFs. Looking at levered ETFs such as the S&P and others show a historic long bull that average investors like me cannot achieve unless I park my money in here.

This is just another ploy to keep wealth in the hands of the elite and prevent the middle and lower class from obtaining passive income and/or improve their social standing. This is absolutely appalling and unsuprising consider the wealth inequality in the US. If you could stop crippling future generations with a shrinking middle class, that would be phenomenal.

I believe investors should be able to make their own decisions based on the opportunity to invest in innovative technology. Many investors dont have the millions or billions of dollars to invest in start ups or big private equity deals like all the multi billionaires, VCs andPE firms do and by limiting the average retail investor to only buy proven mutual funds that are a basket of stocks you will never give them the same opportunity to invest in early innovative technology that give a much better risk reward than an S&P fund.
