I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me at my own risk. I understand the risk, and am willing to take the risk. I only put a small amount (<10%) in this type of investments. I do not wish to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, including leveraged and inverse funds.
Individual investors deserve the ability to manage their own risk and make their own investment decisions. It is preposterous to suggest that there are any real systemic threats to the financial system arising from these funds. If institutions can regularly take on risks that actually affect the broader financial system then individuals should be able to take risks that largely only impact

I am a retail investor and use leverage ETF selectively to make to increase the beta of my portfolio when I have conviction on market direction. I understand the risk and rewards.
The risk of an investment in ARKK or BITCOIN or China is far greater than a 2X S&amp;P 500. Should these also be regulated?
Every time I purchase a leverage product a disclosure pops up of the potential risks
Do not restrict my access to investment products that help me balance the risks as part of my overall portfolio of investments. Leveraged and inverse products help me diversify and reduce overall risks. Limiting access to such products limits investor choice and would require them to seek other methods of mitigating risk, which could result in less investment or a less liquid marketplace.
Dear sirs
Thank you for letting me know your consideration of leveraged ETF. I am testing an investment strategy using leveraged ETF. According to my extensive simulation, the strategy itself does not represent higher risk. But short term wise, it can fluctuate a lot. The reward is better than the market average. Therefore, the risk/ reward ratio is low.

It has been a matter of great satisfaction over the years to see how the cost have decreased and the options have increased or individuals who personally invest. Much of this has arisen as a result of competition in the markets and individual investor interest.
It saddens me to learn that the FINRA is seriously considering regulations that would reverse this trend by limiting investors through
Taking away our own investment choices and control over our investments is wholly contrary to a free market and is against the founding fathers cardinal rule of Govt interfering with our freedoms. We know the risk. We assume the risk. I study the risks intently before investing. Stop government interference in free market capitalism and our freedoms or the snake will strike
Please do not restrict the right to invest in leveraged ETFs.
I have a PhD and have published in economics journals, so I have some expertise in this area.
Investors are currently allowed to borrow up to 50% of the value of their investments, so it is already possible to achieve leverage through these vehicles. But when the value of those investments fall it can lead to margin calls that require
I am fully cognizant of the risks and opportunities in investing in leveraged funds. I should retain my ability to choose my risk levels and such choices should be available to the public at large, not only large futures players. Inverse funds are a way of hedging portfolio risk - Do not make me jump through inordinate hurdles to do so or else I may consider withdrawing from US markets
