The proposed amendment to FINRA 4560 is a laughable attempt at improving naked short selling internal control measures, actual regulatory action, or really any kind of further obligation on the part of the involved broker-dealers. There have been hundreds if not thousands of regulatory "actions" taken by FINRA related to short sale, and misreporting/misclassification of shorts. This

I dont believe that investing should be limited to only high net worth customers. There is unlimited information available for everyday investors to learn about options. Public investments should available to all public investors not just segregated to those that are deemed eligible or wealthy , etc.
I would like to voice my concern over restricting leverage trading. They are vital to my retirement strategy. I can make great profits with less exposure and in a shorter time frame. The brokerages do an outstandin job of informing us of the risk and that they are for short term trading.
I want the ability to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I do not want to be limited or restricted from buying leveraged and inverse funds. I am a well informed investor, and it is not right to restrict my investment options and allow others to have full access.
This type of should not be removed from access to the genral public. There should always be information available to understand what the risks are with all investments. Those are in place with the current laws. Please do not constrain our investment options with laws that oppress our individual investment decisions.
Inverse funds are used as a means to hedge investments. There is ample information and training online regarding short ETFs and therefore testing investors is an unnecessary administrative and financial burden. Regulations should not be put imposed on individuals who should have the freedom to manage their own risk.
Comments: Please do no limit access to leveraged funds. I use them extensively, and they are excellent trading products. For those that are not familiar with them, there are excellent precautions in place by brokerages, including the requirement to read and sign information about the risks, as well as a risk statement with every trade.
