To FINRA regulators,
It is unimaginable and blatant discrimination that you would even consider which stocks or etf's a person may or may not trade. I am fully aware of the risk associated with trading leveraged and inverse funds and they are an important portfolio tool. You need to either ban leveraged and inverse funds completely for EVERYONE or leave things as they are.
Respectfully
It is very important for an informed and risk aware investor to take calculated risk. While leveraged funds are riskier than traditional stocks, funds, etc, none-the-less, they provide a very crucial diversification alpha to smart investors.
I strongly urge SEC, regulators, Congress, and everyone else involved in restricting the access to leveraged ETFs in retirement accounts.
The decision for an individual to invest in any stock, bond, commodity or derivative future never be restricted by a subjective analysis of an individual's understanding of that particular investment instrument. Risk in investment is a specifically individual decision to made by an investor.
If an investment instrument is so complex as to need restriction to only the high income or
most every success story I've ever heard about investing involves somebody picking the stock of a company who's work they want to be part of. No special knowledge, t tricks, equipment or strategy. And, the stern warnings of risk are sufficient and usually heeded. What are you going to test people on, addition and subtraction? No testing is valid in my opinion.
To may it whom concern,
I believe its unfair to regulate leveraged investments in te middle of a financial "crisis". The stock is deeply down, so it could be a measure that affects an important amount of people and their welth. I, Rafael Sanabria, invested on these ETFs knowing the risk that they imply in my portfolio. Please let us trade by ourselves.
Thank you for listening
I'm an adult and earned my income and the right to invest, income that I've already been taxed on mind you, the way and you the amount of risk that I choose. Ive been made aware of the risks involved and understand.
Stock market speculation is inherently not risk free. Please let me choose my level of risk and exposure.
To whom it may concern,
I decide how I want to invest my money. I do not want a bureaucrat deciding for me. I've been a stock investor for 50 years and I trade the inverse and leveraged ETF's as a hedge on my portfolio. I understand how the are priced. I really do not need FINRA telling me to take some kind of test.
Bitcoin is now a standard, conventional asset class, along with stocks, bonds, and precious metals. US citizens should be able to freely invest in bitcoin and bitcoin-tracking funds if they wish. Citizens benefit from having a greater diversity of investment options, including bitcoin and bitcoin-tracking funds. The reality of investing is that each person is responsible for their own investments

Transparency is key. It's a free market, but not a fair one. The odds are purposely hidden, stacked against the retail traders and then manipulated. It's time for change. It's also time for margin calls, though in the case of stocks like AMC and GME, this is about more than just money.
