The ability to use leveraged ETF’s allows me to hedge my downside risk without having to open an options account. The decay on these products against the ability to gain access to leverage is relatively balanced. Don’t pull retails ability to hedge downside risk on the cheap; particularly with the Fed raising interest rates until something breaks to try to create some level of demand destruction
I, as the investor, should be able to choose what investments I want to commit my capital to. As an investor, I should have all available information about an investment to make a prudent decision based on my goals and risk tolerance. Putting restrictions on investments deemed high risk is only favoring those that are approved to trade them. I request that FINRA focuses on ensuring that proper
We do not need further regulations on funds which can be invested by normal people. Further limiting parties who can invest in these funds removes opportunities for investment equality as well as potential economic growth. Any stock market investment should be considered for risk.

ETf's are a great way to make money in bear markets, and on certain sectors of the financial markets. I do believe in educating investors and warning them as much as possible about the increased risks and time decay of ETFs. Also any financial institution
Comments: Please continue to allow me access to these products such as inverse EFT's. The companies providing them have given adequate information, and I further can look up information if needed. I understand they have additional risk, however I would like to take that risk for myself and should have to right to do so. Having these products to chose from helps me to balance my portfolio to
Hi there, I oppose the proposed regulatory enhancements. I especially disagree with tying the ability to trade or invest in leveraged ETFs (or other "complex funds") to net worth. Nothing about having a high net worth guarantees a better understanding of complex funds. Someone with a small portfolio is capable of doing their due diligence before investing in or trading complex funds. I
