I oppose the legislation in the proposed rule #S7-24-15. I like the ability to invest in leveraged funds, specifically SQQQ. When the market indicators show that the markets, in this case the Nasdaq Composite, is going to go through a contraction, funds like SQQQ allow me to realize a greater return with less capital. Funds such as SQQQ help level the playing field for other investors that do not
I, and only I should be able to choose which investments are right for me. I should not have to go through any special process to invest in leveraged or inverse ETF's. There is no more risk to these investments than multitudes of individual stocks, which I have witnessed in real time over many years. I have built my entire investing strategy and process around these funds. Please do not

In general, there needs to be more real time transparent data. Retail investors are not playing on an equal playing field in a supposed free market. With market manipulation obviously taking place with stocks such as $GME and $AMC, things need to change and companies need to be held more accountable.

Period. No matter if they happened traded in a dark pool or your your mom's basement using an app to transfer ownership. I WANT TO KNOW THIS INFO, BECAUSE THATS WHAT THE STOCK MARKET IS SUPPOSED
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. A free and fair market is a strength of the US and it is obvious the integrity of those markets has been strained this last year. Part of that is due to FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. Even with some of the proposed changes in 21-19, there are still some gaps that do not account for synthetic shares that should be addressed as well.
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. The market is a nonsensical mess as a result of the outdated "regulations" and lack of proper enforcement. You've encouraged a system that promotes Loopholes.

Limiting investors choice to determine the best investments based upon their goals is unwarranted and detrimental Investors who use unique investment strategies (ie options, crypto currencies, shorts, high yield bonds, leveraged ETFs) should not have to incur an additional regulatory burden. There are many complex investments and they have been utilized by investors for decades. The
Leveraged and inverse funds are an important of investing for everyday Americans as well as for the privileged. On this May 5th sell off day...a tv talking blamed leveraged funds in part, but the day before had a very large gain and no credit was given to them at all. And if they do cancel these instruments will retail still get blamed for the sell off? Yes...that is what they call us. What we
