Do not restrict my ability to choose the public investments that I decide to buy/sell. I have been investing for over 30 years and am completely capable of making my own choices without the help of a registered broker. I use both leveraged and inverse funds when I deem them advantageous to my investing plan. I know how to place stops, sell, etc when I do not want them in my portfolio. I have the ability to limit my risk.......it is my right to make my investment decisions as I have done for 30 years, most of them without a financial representative. As a matter of fact, brokerage companies were causing me to lose money, so I had to break free from the restraints of people who wanted me to do things their way......and until I began investing on my own I was extremely unhappy. FINRA will NOT help me make money with new regulations for client testing or other regulations, FINRA will only get in my way to use my funds in the way I WISH to use them. What will you do next after these 2022 regulations? Block people or certain ages, certain backgrounds, certain skin color? You will never stop. DONT START!!! People are not that stupid. I certainly do not want or expect FINRA to do what FACEBOOK or TWITTER have done for years........block certain people from choices or expression of beliefs by blocking ways of investing just because somebody in the FINRA office doesn't like us to use them or politically doesn't want them. There is way too much of this in American government and financial organizations and this political related use of regulations has to STOP!!! DONT get involved in this.......drop it, please!!!!!!!
