Hello I not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I don't like shorting ETFs so buying long on an inverse ETF is critical for me to be able to make money in bear markets. Same goes for 2x or 3x ETFs. I can enter with smaller lot sizes to receive better payout.
Hi,
I'm just a retail investor, I don't make a whole lot of money but investing in one of the only places that provides return on savings as opposed to hoarding cash. I don't want to dabble in shorting because it's too risky for small investors, these leveraged funds help provide a safety net for my savings. Honestly if you don't want to rapidly raise
Im a doctor that is also an accountant. I dont need the SEC or FINRA looking out for me. I invest small amounts on a short term basis in leveraged funds. I understand that all the money I invest can be lost. If people dont understand this then that is on them. Thats why they have a 401k and not their own self directed IRA or brokerage account. Im not against having to pass a small test or
Why would you be taking our ability to invest in leveraged funds away from us? Ive been investing for over 40 years and regularly use these types of funds as hedges against certain events.

I do not agree with FINRA's proposal of restricting access to leveraged ETFs. I am an educated investor and 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 privileged. I have used leveraged ETFs prudently and as short term trades to increase my returns and wealth. I have used
Well as usual the government is over reaching. It is okay to risk my money in the market as long as I am losing money. If I take position that I feel will make me money the government steps in and wants to make sure I do not. You still get your "cut" in taxes! Anyway, I still run the same risk that the market will go up and wipe out my short position. I do not need the
Comments:IF it ins't broke don't fix it. I am 77 and invest solely in inverse leveraged ETFS. What are the alternatives? Puts where I can lose all my money in a matter of hours or a short sale where I face unlimited losses?If I can't invest in inverse leveraged ETFS, then no one should and you can just make them extinct. My guess is Wall Street has a poor record of recommendations
Leveraged ETFs and inverse ETFs give individual investors reliable tools with which to hedge against market downturns. The leverage on the short side for inverse ETFs allows them to hold a smaller position against existing longer-term holdings as a hedge in the same manner that professionals use futures to achieve the same goal. On the long side, they allow investors to participate in market
Hi FINRA Committee Members, I don't believe it is fair that you are trying to regulate leveraged and inverse funds. I understand the risks in using them, and have used them successfully in the past. I find them to be easier trading vehicles than using options and I use them as a way to keep my portfolio hedged and to play short term swing trades during uncertain times. If others don't
