Dear FINRA, As a 64 year old physician who has been investing in stocks since 1998, I feel that I am quite competent to assess the risks of my various investment choices. Aside from stocks, bonds, and similar 'paper' assets, I have investments in both real estate and collectables. As such, I feel very strongly that despite what undoubtedly are good intentions, FINRA should refrain from
I am writing concerning the proposed restricting investors access to complex products such as ProShares inverse funds. I have been using such funds as a hedge on my common stocks, so far with great success. The decline in my stocks has been more than offset by gains on my inverse bond ETFs.

I should not have to go

We all understand the stock market has become a casino which the SEC refuses to properly
Trading leveraged ETFs should be treated as other stocks without limitations. First, trading leveraged ETFs is a way to use less expenses but protect one's assets under risky environment if one doesn't know how to trade options. Secondly, while options require approval and have different levels, leveraged ETFs do not have same attributes as options such as losing all premiums or
I trade both stocks and options and want to keep the government out of my trading.
