This spring I have been buying Puts on the TLT which is a triple leveraged product on the 20 year treasuries. I have also been buying out right the TBT which is the triple leveraged inverse of the 20 year treasuries. After watching my balances rise I started tracking the increase in my stock portfolio. On 4/9/2022 my balance was $57,497.57 on 4/15/2022 it was $59,457.61 on 4/22/2022 it was $59
Dear FINRA,
Regarding the restriction of funds I can invest in, particularly leveraged and inverse funds, I believe I should be able to decide what I invest in and where my money goes not FINRA. These funds are not complicated to understand and should be available to everyone, not just those with lots of money. I use these as PART of my investment portfolio to help me hedge other investments
I do not feel that I should have to go through hoops to make investments that I feel I am comfortable making. The government doesn't regulate my selection of houses I could buy (an investment in a volatile market), so I should not be restricted on my investment selection within the stock market. While I am Series 7 licensed, I still think it is excessive for anybody to have to take what
I would like to retain my rights to invest in the type of investment vehicles I choose. I believe I understand these types of investments and would like to use them when I chose to do so. In particular I would like to use an inverse ETF vehicle when I think the market is going down.
This gives me the option of buying an ETF like a stock when I think the market is going down. The alternative
Big Bankers, and stock Commodity Firms, do not have the right to manipulate the voice of the PEOPLE, WE THE PEOPLE have put our money into these firms to grow retirement accounts, we did not choose to be deceive and make laws that fit their agenda.

I think this regulation is both unfair and unnecessary. It is unfair because it implies a change in the rules of the game. Investors who have been implementing strategies using leveraged products will be unable to fully execute their strategies. This is my case, and Im a long term investor.

Inverse funds serve an essential purpose as a hedge against severe market downturns. During the 2008-2009 crisis I lamented the fact that absolutely NOTHING in my investment portfolio increased in value. I urgently sought funds from other sources so as to be able to scoop up bargain stocks in which to invest at rock-bottom prices. After this debacle, I decided that it would be prudent to invest a
Its should not be up to scrupulous Washington Bureaucrats to decide what I can and cant invest in. It should be up to to those who purchase and sell public securities. I have done research into every security that I have purchase and have kept prospectuses of each one. I have also read literature regarding investing.
This feels like a way for government to pick and choose which stocks are
I oppose the restrictions on the public to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I believe every type of investment was created to meet some need of the public, and they should be made available to everyone. Losing free access to financial tools such as leveraged and inverse funds will shut more doors to the poor and make the rich richer. As long as people are able to get disclosures about the
Leverage ETF provides mechanism for individual investor like me who has access to limited capital but still can make significant more money.
Investor are very much aware of that these are riskier Bets so are options, equity market as well where NVDA, AMD, FB, NFLX, RIVN, SQ, SHOP, SOFI stocks can loose 50% to 80% value within a span of 12 months. It is up to individual investor's wisdom
