It is unfair for FINRA to over regulate retail traders more than they already have. It is our own money to invest how we see fit and should not be regulated by a governing body that assumes we do not have a basic understanding of market fundamentals.
Don't prevent me from investing in leveraged and inverse funds.
Do NOT limit my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds in ANY way! There are already enough hurdles in place for the lay investor such as the $25k needed for pattern day-trading among others.

The tools of an investor to offset risk through the use of some of the inverse or short funds could substantially impact their ability to mitigate losses. Investors need to understand the risks involved in EVERY product, including publicly traded stocks. ALL investments carry risk, every single one. The Boards ability to define who is knowledgeable or not is overstepping their scope of regulation
