Proposed Rule Change to Extend the TRACE Pilot Program in FINRA Rule 6730(e)(4)
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") a proposed rule change to amend New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Rule 409(f) to delete the requirement that certain confirmations and reports include
I believe that most people who do choose to invest in these funds are aware of the risks and do their own homework before they start investing.

But due to the issues of inflation people need to invest into the stock market to make sure they have that competitive edge.

It does not make sense to limit leveraged investments as long as I can get a mortgage for 20% or less down payment in an asset which can lose 50% in the matter of months during a recession. How can that be safer than using leveraged and inverse investments? I'll tell you that it's not, in fact is significantly less safer. What harm is it to limit inverse investments when
Dear Regulators, I have been invested in leverage and inverted ETF funds as part of my personal and IRA investment account portfolio over the last fifteen years. I found them extremely helpful to be able to invest in a specific market sector to diversify or as a hedge to my position. It can avoid some of the risk of picking a wrong stock. Please do not limit the investors' choice of
