In an age in which we are watching the breakdown of traditional portfolios like the 60/40 fail to limit downside risk thanks to the correlation of stocks and bonds its important advisors have all the tools necessary to help their clients. Certainly these funds can be misused, misunderstood, or over-allocated to but that shouldnt prohibit the responsible use of such funds. I believe guidance, not
Really? I've been trading stocks, bonds, currencies, futures and actual treasury bonds since 1966. I've had a Series 7, 24 and 55. And you want to make me do what? This is a stupid regulation that prohibits me from doing what I want as an investor in public securities. I obviously understand risk, leverages and inverse funds. Restricting my ability to invest in these
Every body should be able to invest in the securities you propose to legislate. The information about these securities is widely available and well documented. In addition, the average person does not have the insider information that the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have in order to make millions off the stock market. As is the case, regulating the average American away from the
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing your arbitrary test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I have been investing and trading in the stock market since 1957 and understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not want, and do not need to have your unnecessary measures imposed on me or anybody else. Please
I should have the ability to choose any public investment as per my portfolio needs and it should not be restricted in any way. My personal strategy is to invest in 80% on high yield stocks, 10% on large cap and rest 10% for ultra pro/high returns index.

Dear FINRA administration,
I strongly urge you to allow all investors the opportunity to invest in leveraged and inverse fund classes. These funds can help regular Americans like myself have a simpler tool to invest money responsibly by using such funds to track indexes and hedge our investments in other stocks without having to use options and other more complex instruments. Thank you for taking
Please do not take away my right to invest in leveraged etfs. I understand the risk involved. I can buy apple stock or leveraged etfs and potentially lose every dollar I invest. One can only lose the amount of money they invest in leveraged etfs unlike options where your loss can be infinite. Why is this being targeted? I question the intentions behind this. Please do not overstep your reach!
I have been actively participating the FREE U. S. stock market for 20 years. I am against to the restrictions on investing specific products by regulators. First of all I need these leveraged and inverse funds to protect and making gains of my portfolio. Secondary the current regulations are enough to protect investors. Added restrictions will unnecessarily putting burdens on small investors like
Public investments and securities should be available to all investors. Individuals should not have to go through special processes to be able to make purchases. Full participation is one of the joys, challenges, and risks of being active in the stock market. Not allowing individuals to fully participate reduces their access and potential growth. The big investment firms already have enough
Please stop treating investor's like children in kindergarten that need to be protected from themselves -- like a typical Government agency, you think you know better. Stay out of my way - I'm entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - that means I can invest where I choose to, hopefully, obtain certain results. All stocks have risks and I understand what those
