You are attempting to channel Retail investors into categories in an attempt to regulate their trades. If you would actually regulate the Banks, Brokers and Short Sellers these new regulations against Retail would be unnecessary. It appears that Retail traders have become a threat to your "Status Quo".
1) Leveraged ETF is the best . 2) Please do NOT ban it or limit its use. 3) Please ban all short sellers. 4) Please ban all kinds of manipulation of stock price by market makers, hedge funds, and mutual funds. 5) Thank you for not banning leveraged ETF.
If you are going to limit an investors preference to invest in defensive ETF's then you should not allow any ETF's. There is no law against puts or shorting. This change will simply disadvantage small investors . Stop trying to run our lives...you can't even run our government,
I occasionally use various ETFS that short major indexes or multiply returns on major market ETFs such as the DOW, the NASDAQ 100 or the S&P 500.
I feel that it is a restriction of my ability to choose my personal risk levels if you place limitations on these financial instruments.

What ever happened to the concept of individual responsibility? Why does government and quasi government entities think I/We are blithering idiots?
For the record: I am adult who understands risk. If I wish to invest in a high risk investment, That is my prerogative!
In short: IT IS NONE OF YOUR/GOVERMENT'S BUSINESS!!
I strongly disagree with any government or regulator-imposed restrictions regarding investment in inverse and levered ETFs. These are a key part of my investment strategy, especially in my 401(k) account where I am unable to hedge and take a short position in securities and am unable to purchase (be long) options.
Dear Sir or Madam, In short, please allow continued use of leveraged products, as available with providers such as Proshares. The risks are adequately addressed in required prospectus and I believe they serve a worthy hedge option to public investors. I support their continued availability. Thank you. Best, James Liggett
It is important for retail investors to have trading options that do not require trading options. That is a bit of a play on words, but I hope you get the drift. I don't want to trade options but I do want to be able to invest in ETFs that short the market. It is an essential part of my investment portfolio.
Dear FINRA;
Please do not add 'nanny state' type restrictions on inverse and leveraged ETF's. As an investor, I need access to a variety of investment options, including long and short leveraged ETF's.
The introduction of onerous restrictions on investing in these types of funds would not serve the public interest.
The stock market is in a difficult situation now because of war and inflation. After May 4th, the stock market is expected to rise in the short term. There have been many difficulties this year, but I think it will recover a lot.I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments.
