Comments: Please continue to allow me access to these products such as inverse EFT's. The companies providing them have given adequate information, and I further can look up information if needed. I understand they have additional risk, however I would like to take that risk for myself and should have to right to do so. Having these products to chose from helps me to balance my portfolio to
Comments: I have used leveraged ETFs since 2018 and have been able to understand the risks. I am consistently reminded of the risks and understand that downturns in the market can skew the performance and they are made for short term active trading and monitored regularly. I receive a notice prior to placing trades with my firm and periodic emails reminding me of the risks. I am comfortable with
Dear SEC, How dare you go after these instruments. Focus more of your energy on companies which do insider trading and when you do give fines they cannot be less than the money made. Inverse funds and short selling and leveraged funds give some advantages to average investors that institutional investors dont need. Please reconsider thiese "rules". Banks should not trade FDIC leveraged
It's called a hedge. I want to be able to do the same thing the big institutions do. If I'm smart enough to buy long positions, I'm smart enough to short. As per usual, you are dumping on small investors and helping big banks aka: your donors. This isn't just stupid, it's anti American. It's my money, if I want to hedge, it's my business. Stay out of my business
Finra, thanks for giving us a way to input our thoughts on 22-08.

Dear Regulators, I've been investing for over 20 years. I've used inverse funds in my IRAs when the market was pulling back because I'm not allowed to sell short in those accounts. I've used leveraged funds to increase the opportunity to make good profits at times. To limit me from doing either of these two investment vehicles hampers my ability to compete fairly. That's
Leveraged and inverse funds are highly valued-liquid trading instruments that I find very useful for quickly getting long and or short the market and are frequently used for hedging purposes. These products provide a very effective means to manage capital at market risk and there are no other inexpensive-scalable alternatives available to retail investors. These leveraged products provide
By Robert Cook, President and CEO, FINRA. Last month, the SEC issued an exemptive order providing significant relief from the personally identifiable information (PII) reporting requirements of CAT (the Exemptive Order). This was an important step towards reducing unnecessary PII risk associated with CAT, and was directionally consistent with a blog I previously wrote calling for CAT to stop collecting and storing investors’ PII. As discussed below, however, the Exemptive Order did not eliminate all PII from CAT.
I oppose any restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged stock funds. We are fully capable of reading and understanding the risks and opportunities of these type of funds and don't need further regulations by public self-serving bureaucrats. Please leave us alone!
