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 and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
I am a small investor. In this market, buying ETF's has enabled me to limit my losses. Leave ProShares ETF's alone .... it is not broken.
There should be no restrictions on leverage ETF's. They serve a useful purpose.
I think it makes trading not fair and leveled for all people, if you limit trading leveraged etf, for having a certain amount of money and needing cooling time,
Warnings that we accept should be enough for ppl to know the risks.
And most ppl learn stocks from their own unofficial sources and making official curriculum, will make it hard for people with other jobs to invest in stocks
investing in these funds has been allowed to everyone for years and there is no reason to change now. this is a free market and since these funds have been approved to be trading on the exchanges they must continue to be allowed to be traded by everyone. Leveraged and inverse funds function like option trading and there is no restriction on options or margin trading.
it is completely unreasonable to limit profiting strategies to only those with significant amounts to leverage. It completely unbalances individual investors to leave them punished.

Being a watchguard for investors is not the same as being our mommy.

I an a very small investor and have planned so in can survive but if you eliminate these in verse funds I will probably be on welfare in the near future. These are the only way some of us have to survive. Besides not everyone
It is grossly unfair to only allow access to these products to large money players. Leveraged funds compromise less than 2% of my active holdings, but are useful in capitalizing on upswings that occur after large selloffs (such as the COVID selloff in March-April of 2020). When the markets enter a period of distress we should be allowed to buy the dip as aggressively as I wish. All the money I
Dear FINRA,
I am writing today to express my disappointment that you are considering regulations limiting my publicly available investment options. Only through a wide and diverse array of investment options can a diverse and balanced portfolio be maintained. As an investor in the market today, just as in 2008-2009, maintaining a hedge against extreme volatility is an important and needed aspect
