It is my understanding that FINRA or other regulators are considering new restrictions on my right to trade. I do not want, or need, new regulations imposing on my right to trade. I am fully capable to trade and when I have questions I ask my broker. I do not need help understanding leveraged or inverse fund and I sure don't need FINRA or other regulators telling me what I can invest in. I
Knowledgeable stock trading individuals should be allowed to express their freedom to take the risk they to which are comfortable in regards to inverse or leveraged trading. Dont pander to the rich and powerful who only believe they should be able to exercise their freedoms.

I as a retail investor, hope to have the capability and freedom to trade leveraged and inverse funds. They are important to my portfolio especially in roth IRA where the option trade is restricted. I don't want to lose the tool of leveraged and inverse funds.

Leveraged and inverse funds provide valuable alternative investment vehicle for investors to properly manage risk in their portfolios. The proposed measures to artificially restrict trading - or potentially eliminate trading in these vehicles is a gross over-reach by the government which are not needed.

I have been trading for about 58 years and have traded these ETFs for the past 12. This account is used as a hedge against a market drop and I would not be pleased if any restrictions were placed on my ability to secure them.
It is completely demoralizing as a retail investor to see what goes on with the stock market manipulation via shorting, off-exchange trading, and lack of reporting on short positions.
