As an informed and educated professional, I should have the right to invest in whatever funds I please. Leveraged ETFS in particular do not pose a risk to my personal financial freedom or wealth. As someone who has read the prospectus of UPRO, TQQQ and TMF, I feel that it is my right as an American to express myself freely supporting these leveraged funds. I know the risks that come with these
I like having the ability to invest in leveraged funds. I do not want this option taken away, or limited by some gate-keeper that gets to decide what I do with my money.
These are calculated risks I take and provides me choices for high growth.
I understand that we're trying to protect uninformed people, but you can't solve this by showing people pages of text before they trade
We should be allowed to invest in funds we like to invest. all regulator should make sure that funds disclose their investment practice clearly and funds are not doing any fraud or providing miss information to investor. regulators should not discriminate small investors but provide all exceptions to big investors assuming they are very well educated and risk aware.. infect big investors are on
The purpose of restricting individual investors to purchase leverage ETFs by FINRA is questionable since my stock broker, Fidelity, already informs investors volatility and risks of losing capital seriously.

As an investor, I am opposed to the additional regulations proposed in Regulatory Notice 22-08 restricting access to certain complex products.
There are sufficient requirements to provide information on the behavior of these investments and more than enough regulation on broker dealers to supervise the purchase and trading of these instruments.
We cannot regulate our way to more intelligent
I 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 or those whom regulators arbitrarily deem worthy. I shouldn't have to go through any wasteful and inefficient bureaucratic process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. The risks of leveraged and inverse
Aloha, as a small retail investor I would definitely NOT be in favor of any of any restrictions on my ability to buy and sell publicly-traded ETF's and similar common financial products, so long as the already well-known risks are plainly and honestly disclosed by issuers and brokers in any promotional materials. Trying to accurately determine who is and isn't capable of
Could someone please inform FINRA that the US is well into the throws of a total societal/financial collapse, as is most of the rest of the planet. Adding layers of burdensome regulation and limiting the public' in which publicly traded securities they may or may not use for speculation, hedging or investment purposes is equivalent to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic after it
