At 64 years of age, holding 7 professional certifications & having experience in industrial, education, medical, law, & CPA/Financial Planning fields, I feel I am more than qualified to control & invest my retirement funds as I see fit! I DON'T need FIRA to "save" me from myself! The option to invest in PUBLICLY traded funds should
In the past 40 years, federal policy has increasingly placed responsibility for retirement saving squarely on the shoulders of individuals. It is highly inappropriate for the government to assign that burden to individuals, then limit or restrict the sorts of investment vehicles available to individual investors. That includes leveraged funds, which, when the associated risk is properly managed
I have a very modest portfolio of funds for my retirement and over the past ten years, the use of leveraged funds has benefited me greatly so that my retirement dreams may finally come true. I have a salary that would have otherwise not allowed me to retire.
I have been a personal investor for more than 20 years and after ten years of investing, I introduced the use of this investment instrument
To The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), I want to continue having the ability to freely invest in a broad range of public securities designated as “complex products”—including the leveraged and inverse funds offered by ProShares.

There is no way that I have even considered any allocation in crypto funds, an area that does need research, appropriate oversight.
Please stop trying to take what we worked our butts off far to have a have way good living in our retirement years. I was hoping to do some traveling and see more of our country, but with what our government has done that can not happen! I have been priced out of any enjoyment in my retirement.

I have a self directed IRA. The balance in my retirement fund investments has increased since january while the major stock indexes are down close to 20%. I have done this with leveraged and inverse etf funds. I am not a licensed investor but I did educate myself for months to prepare for the obvious upcoming government imposed economic trainwreck.
