I would like to request that FINRA not restrict our ability to purchase leveraged and inverse funds.
Modern Portfolio Theory postulates that our main resource for profit is a function of risk. Almost any investment can have its risk dialed up or down to meet our financial needs.
So, it is prudent to allow all investors the ability to decide for themselves and take personal responsibility for
This is to respectfully request that you DO NOT apply blanket and arbitrary rules that restricts investors access to publicly listed and traded securities. All investing incurs risk. Rules such as these could actually enhance liability as it implies other investments are "safe". Should investors assume "ZOOM" was a "safe, non-leveraged investment?
Stop treating adults like children, there's lots of risk in life and in a free country people should be free to choose what, where, when, and how to take those risks and when not to. I can go to the casino and throw it all on black if I want, nobody is trying to stop me from doing that, but apparently the SEC feels the need to prevent me from using valuable hedge options to protect my
It is imperatively important that investors can choose the public investments they want to invest in. These investments should be available to all public investors, not just the privileged ones. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and have been investing for many years. I do not need your regulations imposed on me. My trading investment activities are my
The ability for investors to invest in leveraged ETFs should not be altered in any way. ProShares and other firms do an excellent job informing investors of the inherent risks in leveraged ETFs. It is then up to the investor to make his/her own informed decision on whether he/she has the risk appetite to invest in such funds.

I believe investors should be able to choose what investments that they want to invest in. I used these investments as a hedge for my portfolio. I do think that the acknowledgement of risk and investment experience should play a role in whether investors can invest in leveraged products, but the approval process should be similar to the process for getting approval to trade stock options. It
I am opposed to the proposed rules adding restrictions on purchases of leveraged investment products for individual investors. Individual investors should have the ability to choose what strategies to utilize and the equities they purchase. Investing with leveraged and inverse ETFs provides me the ability to take advantage of market movement and sector activity without risk of concentrating into
To whom it may concern,
I'm writing this to voice my concern about the recent proposed legislation to restrict retail investors like myself from participating from LEVERAGED AND INVERSE FUNDS. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the elites. I shouldn't have to
Comments: To: FINRA,
I have been an active trader for many years using Leveraged and Inverse (L&I) Funds fairly successfully. I understand their limitations and risks from various literature/warnings and from my own experience. I strongly suggest that investors and brokerage firms do not need additional regulations to effectively use L&I Funds. This would only make these
Ive been using leveraged funds e.g., UPRO for 14 years. Its a critical part of my trading strategy. I fully understand the risks, and in many ways, its less risky than borrowing money (i.e., margin account) to implement my trading strategy. My demonstrated success in using these funds as part of my trading strategy is testament to the fact that traders can learn through reading and experimenting
