I want you to know that leveraged and inverse funds are an extremely important part of my investment strategy.
These types of funds help me to find above average returns and dividends on my capital and I use them as a supplement to the bulk of my portfolio.
We do not need less choices as investors we need more, especially short term investments that can help us use a smaller amount of capital to hedge our investments. Keep leveraged and inverse funds. Thank you.
It is not your job to tell us what we cant Invest in on the stock exchange! Leveraged ETFs were created to trade! If I want to put my hard earned capital at risk in a leveraged ETF I have the right to! Its my money!
FINRA Board, This is a major regulatory overreach. I would hope that this rule regarding individual investors' access to "complex" investments was proposed with the best of intentions - to protect investors from tking on unnecessary risk.

Free market capitalism is a bastion of personal liberty. It is what makes the United States of America the greatest nation in history. I do not need protection from freedom. Your time could be better spent in ways to numerous to list - BUZZ OFF!
I understand with the influx of retail investors in the past couple years there is a need to help protect them from all of the complex investment options out there, however, restricting use is not the answer. It seems at every turn recently, the retail investor is used as the excuse for a problem that is caused by the major hedge fund and market makers. Retail traders do not have the ability to
The ability to freely access leveraged and inverse investment products allows even the small investor both opportunity and protection from market volatility. True, there are some who use these freedoms unwisely, but that is true of anything. Existing safeguards and regulations, in my opinion, are sufficient for the majority of investors, and risk and foolish choices will never be squeezed from
Investing on any asset class should be a personal decision.
