Leveraged ETF/ETNs pose risks that some retail investors do not understand. As such, broker-dealers should conduct due diligence before allowing customers to purchase Leveraged ETFs. However, such due diligence should be similar to that of mid-level options trading authority. My advisory firm is in the process of launching a hedge fund which utilizes Leveraged ETFs as a part of a risk-managed
I am strongly opposed any additional regulations to leveraged and inverse securities. All investments have an element of risk; by requiring a list of pre-requisites to trading these securities, you decrease the investor base with access which could add to increased volatility as well as making the acquisition and disposition of said securities much more difficult. Additionally, further
The proposals put forward are a solution in search of a problem. Leave Retail Investors alone. Retail Investors do not want, nor do we need, your "protection". Government regulation already restricts the general public from certain investments with the accredited investor rules, we do not need additional prohibitions placed upon us. It is difficult for me to believe that there
To Whom It May Concern, I am greatly concerned about any additional cost further regulation and compliance will have on complex trading products, particularly leveraged ETFs. I am concerned about additional regulations which may increase the time it takes to get approval for trading complex products. I purchased leveraged ETFs on market indices, however there was five years of research in search
I oppose the restrictions trying to be imposed by FINRA related to FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08.
It should be my decision to choose the public investment that is right for me. Public investments should be just that, available to the public not just the privileged. Leave the publics rights alone and allow us to choose what is the best investment for ourselves. I shouldn't have to go

Every investment tool in the stock market involves some degree of volatility and risk, even crossing the street in daily life has some degree of risk. Are we going to eliminate options because they include

Risk and reward go together in Free Enterprise. The responsibility to understand risk and then willingness to engage are an individual's prerogative. Those of us who are educated, responsible, and recognize the downside should be allowed to invest in leveraged funds. I am somewhat offended that people who don't understand the risk "cry foul" when they don
Quote "important regulatory concerns arise when investors trade complex products without understanding their unique characteristics and risks. Like complex products, trading in options may pose risks if investors do not have the financial experience to understand options and options trading strategies" my comments: [1] risks of trading complex products won't change no matter traded
I have been investing for many years and it is just un-american to try to stop normal up standing American citizens from the right to make their own investment decisions. It is important that each individual have the right to choose the best investments for their family. All investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged super-rich who then take advantage of the
