FINRA has no business involving another governmental agency in the financial markets. Why dont you spend time stopping the big banks from spoofing silver and gold prices. Now that is a real problem you could solve. I minored in Economics in college and understand the risks of leverage and inverse funds. Im currently using these types of positions for downside protection. Its an integral part of
Leveraged and inverse ETFs offer regular investors a safe way to invest in a wider variety of securities, achieve higher returns and meet financial goals faster. Without these instruments, achieving these returns would require investors to take risky short positions or margin trade, which are much riskier than being able to invest in these funds. My brokerage already has adequate warnings about
I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in publicly traded securities, including leveraged instruments both bullish and bearish. I take the time to understand the risks of these funds, and limit my exposure accordingly.

There is not any problem that needs to be solved with respect to leveraged and inverse ETFs. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are critical components of my trading and investing; they allow me to achieve enhanced returns and also help me to protect my portfolio during market downturns.

If regulation such as you are now proposing had been in effect then, I would have been prohibited from making the choices that taught me to be a better investor.

I see no reason to regulate what a person decides to do with their money. The government doesn't appear to have any restrictions on it's ability to manipulate the market on a daily basis as it does. The craps table isn't restricted or any other game in the betting business. Margin is allowed, shorting is allowed, and I'm sure there are other things big money is allowed to do.
Dear FINRA Regulators, I AM OPPOSED TO RESTRICTIONS ON MY RIGHT TO INVEST in inverse investments as an individual. It is important that the public at large, and in particular, me and my family, be allowed to invest in inverse ETF's without restriction or further regulatory interference by imposing additional regulations.

Failure to Deliver should not exist. The basic rules of supply and demand are betrayed by this concept. If a Christie’s auction failed to deliver the auctioned item, but sent a replica that is treated and “valued” just as with the original, both of their prices are then diluted.

THE STATE OF SHORT SELLING AND MANIPULATION IN THIS CURRENT MARKET IS ABSOLUTELY ABNORMAL. A LOT OF SHADY [REDACTED] GOING ON. WE NEED MORE TRANSPARENCY AND ALSO CONSEQUENCES TO PEOPLE ABUSING THEIR POWER. WHENEVER THE RETAIL INVESTORS GATHER TOGETHER AND TRY TO DO SOMETHING FOR OURSELVES AND FAMILY, WE ARE TO BLAME WHICH IS OVERLOOKING THE AMOUNT OF MANIPULATION THESE HEDGEFUNDS ARE DOING. WHEN
