Like my husband posted as well, I share his sentiments exactly:
I am an experienced investor who is aware of how ETFs and inverse type funds work. Like any other investment there is due diligence and risk, which I accept. I dont think FINRA should over reach and and limit availability and access to these instruments. Instead, they should focus more in investor education, especially to younger
I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed rules for investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Its a violation of my rights as an investor and imposes unreasonable burden on my ability to trade in a timely manner. I consider myself well informed and do not need additional regulations to guide my investment choices. Leveraged and inverse products are an important part of my investment
Hi, Please leave the current platforms intact. Many investors have adjusted their portfolios to trade and invest in this setup. Changing this will cause major harm to investors. Obviously there is a lack of transparency when leverage products were allowed to manipulate the markets but now it is a mature market and public is very well aware of these products. Please do not change anything but
After 50 years of investing including the use of leveraged and inverse funds; I believe I have the right as well as the responsibility to control my own investments. I do not need or want measures inacted that would only impair my investing. I use inverse funds to stabilize my portfolio and to offset some of my long position. I started trading these funds when I was young. That's how I
Summary
FINRA warns member firms of an ongoing phishing campaign that involves fraudulent emails (see sample in Appendix) purporting to be from “FINRA Membership” and using the email address “[email protected]”.

Summary
FINRA requests comment on a proposed change to its current policy relating to the assignment of OTC symbols to unlisted equity securities. Specifically, FINRA is considering whether it should begin assigning OTC symbols to unlisted equity securities that do not have a valid CUSIP identifier, in the limited circumstance where a member firm demonstrates its best efforts to obtain a CUSIP
I feel that your proposed regulations are insultingly presumptuous. I alone will prosper or suffer from my investments. I dont need interference in my choices. I have been handling investments for many years and have done quite well. I can handle complex instruments, and more importantly I know my limits. I include leveraged or inverse funds when and only when I am comfortable that they are
I strongly oppose regulators deciding whether or not I can invest in public securities. I am well educated and have been an investor for a great number of years. I am perfectly capable of understanding risk factors and how to use these funds as a limited part of my portfolio to hedge/protect my investments. I should be able to make my own decision about what strategy is right for me. I do not
you make sure BD are well regulated to provide adequate information to investors. Do you assume they are not doing their job? If it is a current public investment already okayed by you why shouldnt the regular public have the right to buy it? whether it is for leverage or protection. If we end up with only passive investments there will be no market in the true sense of the word and will just
I find it troubling that you are considering making unreasonable restrictions on my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, for several reasons. I should be able to make my own decisions without your blessings, you know nothing about me. Also this will severely hamper my ability to be successful with stock investing. I don't think anyone is more concerned about my financial
