Dear FINRA- I am opposed to any regulation which doesn't allow me access to the same investment vehicles as the powerful, rich and well-healed of this planet. It comes to my attention that your organization is considering regulations which may prohibit or restrict me from investing with ProShares ETFs like the UltrraPro short fund. I have been investing my own money and receiving
Please do not do this. You may believe youre helping the average investor but youre in fact harming them. This action would take away yet another investment/trading option available to the commoner. The wealthy have a multitude of investments options available to them that lower networth people simply cannot access. Leveraged funds specifically allow the clean utilization of highly technical
I think I should have the right to select my investment in public securities. They should be available to everyone,not just the elite. Im quite capable of understanding the risks involved and use these instruments in my investment strategies. In fact Ive made a nice profit using leveraged and inverse funds and ETFs. They have also allowed me to hedge my investments and saved me money. They are
We appreciate you bringing the inverse and leveraged funds to our attention. We only use them occasionally because markets are up 2/3 of the time.
For short downtrends it is often best to wait until they are over, but in longer downtrends some money can be made.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds

Anything that could be done to increase simplicity in the rule book would be a huge benefit to the market. I AM NOT SAYING TO DECREASE REGULATION: I am advocating for an increase of regulation with incredibly simple language so that it is accessible to anyone. OVERSIGHT AND TRANSPARENCY SHOULD BE THE UTMOST AND ULTIMATE PARADIGM. Increase transparency on all positions, real and synthetic, long,
It is incredibly important to have a financial system be transparent, secure, and fair. I believe that this proposal aids in the effort to produce a more transparent go coal system. Many new investors will be put off from investing in the stock market without these transparency rules. Many people, myself included, see the current system as unbalanced and rife with the exploitation of retail
You think you’re arguing from a position of strength. You think asking for the public to comment you’re assuaging the masses. You think we think you’ll actually do something honorable and equitable in response to this open comment forum. We know better. It’s all coming out now. Again. We know you’ve rigged the game and corrupted the market. We know you only pay lip service when moralizing an open
