Please do not restrict the use of leverage/inverse funds. I understand the function of these funds and the risks involved. I am capable of mitigating the risk and use the funds when they present a particular advantage. These funds can be a significant importance in moving around the markets.
This email is to warn member firms of an ongoing phishing campaign that involves fraudulent emails purporting to be from FINRA and using the domain name “@claims-finra.org.” The domain of “claims-finra.org” is not connected to FINRA and firms should delete all emails originating from this domain name.
I am capable of reading a prospectus that notes risks and I have the ability to accept or reject those risks. Abusing the rights of small traders is not a way to improve the markets. I suggest that you direct your efforts toward the Big Five and their trading abuses.
Blocking individual investors from using inverse or leveraged instruments actually increases risk and prevents hedging - why should Goldman Sachs be able to hedge but not Jill Mainstreet? Hedging actually decreases risk. Individual investors are not children.
Please don't regulate these investments and prevent me from using them. They allow me access and ability to hedge more easily. Without these I would subject to market fluctuations and more at risk. This will likely increase my risk and not reduce it.
I like leverage funds . It gives us opportunity for huge returns. In every investment they are risks . But with calculated risk we get opportunity for huge returns. Please allows us to invest in these funds as it is now. Please dont restrict trading these funds.
All financial investments come with risks. Yes, some people will gamble their money away, but protecting people from themselves is not the appropriate role of this regulatory body. This is not an issue of protecting retail investors from fraud. The risks are well known and disclosed.
I am aware of the risks of investment in Proshares LEVERAGED AND INVERSE FUNDS, and I am willing to take the risk. I believe the decision should be left to the discretion of the investor, not the regulators. Public investments should be available to all public , not to a small group of privileged people.

i do not need to be protected from myself with leveraged funds. I understand their investment role and associated risks. I balance these risks with blue-chip stocks and they provide a way to improve the overall return of my portfolio without excessive risky behavior like crypto.
