I would like to let FINRA know that I want to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing. I dont want FINRA to change how I invest in ultra, ulteapro and ultra short shares. These are already difficult times for investors please dont make it more difficult for us by causing changes.

Please do not limit our ability to invest in what you deem as "complex products". Trust investors who do not require a big brother to permit them to invest in products outside of the overall stock market. Leverage and shorting or using inverse funds can offer superior returns or prevent a loss in a portfolio.
Greetings, Without the ability to trade leveraged/geared funds many main street investors will fall short of a viable savings to retire securely. Given the shortcomings of our elected officials to address fair and equitable Social Security reform it is up to us and the current wide range of investment options to secure our own future.
I use leveraged products as a small part of my portfolio to both hedge as well as enhance gains. I learned to use these leveraged products from the information provided to me on provider web sites well informed of the dangers "that these are not long term" investment strategies. I have gained from both short and long leveraged products.
Inverse funds help me protect/hedge my investments especially within accounts where using alternative methods (i.e. shorting, derivatives, etc.) is not available. Leveraged funds help me enhance my returns in a similar manner except to the upside in, mostly retirement, accounts where options trading isn't available.
I OPPOSE limitations on the investment. It is my right to buy leveraged and inverse funds like UltraPro and UltraPro Short funds. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I use them to protect my investment and they are very important tools in my investment strategy.
I object to applying restrictive regulations to investors trading in ETFs that are leveraged to 2x or 3x. The same for those ETFs that are reversely indexed. The reverse investment ETFs are an especially convenient and efficient alternate to the "shorting" of stock trades. Do not differentiate between leveraged or reversed ETFs and the usual form of ETFs. Simply leave a good thing as it
Synthetic shares need to be penalized and/ or outlawed. Additionally, dark pool trading needs to be stopped. Brokerages that constantly short stocks should be required to reconcile at market value no later than 15 days following the first FTD prior to being allowed to trade openly on that stock.
To whom it may concern, As a retail investor, I believe transparency is vital to a fair and efficient market. I think it is unlawful for a company to be shorted more than 140% of its float. In no other industry can you sell 140% of a product legally. It is important that this is taken seriously as the integrity of the market is at stake.
