Inverse funds are a great option to hedge against other family assets and liabilities. We utilized ProShares UltraShort 7-10 Year Treasury to hedge against rising interest rates for debt that needs to be refinanced in the near future. This was a well thought out and planned strategy, that has worked perfectly. Once the debt is refinanced we would look to liquidate the ProShares UltraShort 7-10
Using inverse indexes and leveraged funds is a key component of my investing strategy. It has helped immensely in the early portion of this year with significant market declines. My accounts are performing well ahead of the market. This has been true in the past several years through the use of both leveraged and inverse funds. Please allow me to continue to use these funds without proving my
Please consider the small investors who want to hedge their investments in times of turbulence. The small investor has few places to go because the larger firms which might assist with hedging will not do business with a small investor.

I have been investing for about 50 years, during that time I have seen a growing manipulation of the equity markets by bankers at the Federal Reserve. They have fattened there own trading accounts by creating excessive liquidity and pushing markets well beyond rational levels (creating a wealth effect). There is no longer value on the "long" side.

I have been using leveraged etf's for 10 years...i like them...they allow me to invest a smaller percent of portfolio and still get a return. Trade frequently every week. The risks are well documented. What i dont like are ETNs that close during times of market volatility.

Regulating my right to invest in public investments in any way is akin to the Jim Crow laws. My gains or losses in leveraged funds is not FINRA's concern.

The risks associated with leveraged and inverse products is well documented, and all brokerages that offer them prompt with warnings before allowing trades. Adding extra bars for entry
You (the Govt) does not have any right to limit or restric my investment decisions. This is unconstitutional and you have no such authority. Leveraged investments are part of my investing now. What would you do, FORCE ME to sell my investments at an inopportune time. If you would do such a thing, you will be liable for any investment losses you cause as well as missed opportunities for higher
Comments: I oppose any further rule-making to limit access to so-called "complex products" (e.g. leveraged / inverse funds or ETFs). There are already plenty of warnings provided regarding the risky nature of these products. At my broker's website, for example, I receive a notification every time I attempt to purchase these products indicating their risky nature and
Can't believe such a regulation comes from FINRA?! America is about THE Ultimate country to let investors to have total freedom investing in this amazing market, with such action is like telling the world this country is not as confident as before any more!
there's always risks in investment,bigger return higher the risk, it's just common sense, I understand the words
