The United States possesses a free market. It is up to investors to be well informed and understand the investment choices that they are making. Restricting investments from investors based on specific criteria is a way of controlling or manipulating markets and is not ethical. What is being considered is not ethical. Stop trying to make our free markets restricted. All investors should have the
I, and most, people who currently invest have a wealth of information available to them, in addition to close relationships with brokers and advisors. No amount of the governmental control you propose will add much to mitigate what you may perceive as inequities or irregularities in investing. I feel you would best spend your time and resources monitoring adherence to current laws and regulations
Dear Finra,
I strongly encourage you to continue allowing retail and retirement investors like myself to continue investing in levered and complex products. These products are great investment tools for people like myself who choose to perform careful and thoughtful research while understanding the risks that come with them.

It is important to allow investors to use leveraged and inverse funds in their portfolios. These add an opportunity to participate in a sound and well managed personal investment effort to be successful. Brokerages provided valued information and warning about these produces to their clients.
Individual investors put a lot of time and effort to understand L&I Funds. I know that I do
Freedom is our right. Comgresss trafers on inside information and you want to disallow constituents freedom to invest in their choice of investments. You are not special but may think you are. Your below average thinkers, make stupid rules and are currently led by a incompetent old man who cant remember his thoughts and who enriched his family of. Crooks and enabled his son to make millions.
Comments: Restricting an investor's access to investment products will only put them at a disadvantage.
