To FINRA regulators,
It is unimaginable and blatant discrimination that you would even consider which stocks or etf's a person may or may not trade. I am fully aware of the risk associated with trading leveraged and inverse funds and they are an important portfolio tool. You need to either ban leveraged and inverse funds completely for EVERYONE or leave things as they are.

2008 Ape so strap in. There isn't enough space to cover everything so let me summarize: For every crime someone, say, making more or less than $200k in the market, be it collusion, insider trading, fraud, or what have you, committed and was jailed for, is evenly handed UP to those making more than $1mil to $2 BILLION more or less in the market. (That can be made easier by) *ban and make
To may it whom concern,
I believe its unfair to regulate leveraged investments in te middle of a financial "crisis". The stock is deeply down, so it could be a measure that affects an important amount of people and their welth. I, Rafael Sanabria, invested on these ETFs knowing the risk that they imply in my portfolio. Please let us trade by ourselves.
Thank you for listening
I'm an adult and earned my income and the right to invest, income that I've already been taxed on mind you, the way and you the amount of risk that I choose. Ive been made aware of the risks involved and understand.
Stock market speculation is inherently not risk free. Please let me choose my level of risk and exposure.
The risks and benefits of leveraged ETFs are well known to investors. I should be able to invest in a product that I research and feel comfortable investing in. If we regulate leveraged etfs, what about regulating home purchasing (5x leverage) or the actions of Wall Street.. where large players can easily manipulate single stocks through short selling or otherwise?
In the current environment of overvalued stocks and bonds across the board, the winning strategy is short everything. You want to take that away, right now, at the top of this massive bubble?
Regulators, the Government, and the FED got us in this mess. Now, the only good option is going short. I understand the risks. And I want you people to stay out of my way.
It is very important for an informed and risk aware investor to take calculated risk. While leveraged funds are riskier than traditional stocks, funds, etc, none-the-less, they provide a very crucial diversification alpha to smart investors.
I strongly urge SEC, regulators, Congress, and everyone else involved in restricting the access to leveraged ETFs in retirement accounts.
The decision for an individual to invest in any stock, bond, commodity or derivative future never be restricted by a subjective analysis of an individual's understanding of that particular investment instrument. Risk in investment is a specifically individual decision to made by an investor.
If an investment instrument is so complex as to need restriction to only the high income or
most every success story I've ever heard about investing involves somebody picking the stock of a company who's work they want to be part of. No special knowledge, t tricks, equipment or strategy. And, the stern warnings of risk are sufficient and usually heeded. What are you going to test people on, addition and subtraction? No testing is valid in my opinion.
To whom it may concern,
I decide how I want to invest my money. I do not want a bureaucrat deciding for me. I've been a stock investor for 50 years and I trade the inverse and leveraged ETF's as a hedge on my portfolio. I understand how the are priced. I really do not need FINRA telling me to take some kind of test.
