May 2010 Supplement to the Options Disclosure Document
To FINRA,
The Freedom to trade equities and other asset classes feels like a basic right without needing encumbrances to that end. I am a knowledgeable investor of leveraged ETFs that have returned twice annually as much as I would buying and holding SPY, QQQ or the like (1x leverage).
Any regulation that would impose more hurdles to my trading would feel like restriction, when my regimen of
Leveraged , inverse, and other complex strategies are an important part of my investment profile. They allow me to be precise in the risk and asset class of my choosing compared to corporate equities which in fact encapsulated many more risks.
I do not believe regulators should interfere in the investment choices as those that want to invest in so-called complex instruments can easily read the
I as an investor, not regulators should be able to choose public investment which are right for myself & family.
We should not have to go thru any special process or passing a test to use these tools. I am extremely capable in understanding the risks of these inverse and leveraged funds.
These leverage and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. I use them to protect
Any security trading in the general market should be available to all investors. There should be no discrimination made between different types of investors vis-a-vis allowing one to trade and prohibiting another. It would be a discriminatory practice otherwise.
However, for more risky asset classes, the risks should be clearly explained to the investors so that they can make judicious and well-
Greetings FINRA Team,
Please don't restrict my choice to invest in leveraged and inverse funds (Public Investments). I'm very aware of the global markets, current events, and the economic state of our country.

Whether it makes the investing world safer or not, perhaps a lesson taught through experience rather than regulation would be a better way of allowing investors to discover what they should or should not invest in. I view these investment avenues as ways to
I think I have the ability to select the assets I invest in. I have an MBA in finance which I think gives me the ability to select the investments I make. However, I think public investments should not be limited to which member of the public invests in them. While I have passed several Finra exams, I don't think every member of the public should be required to before investing in leveraged
We do not need regulations limiting smaller investors abilities to take on risk. There is adequate warnings already in place for levered ETFs. Small investors already cant access many investments that the wealthy can such as private equity and venture capital. This will push more investors into taking riskier margin loans rather than a managed leveraged product.
The more rules the better on the Investment industry. Their only guiding principle is fleecing the flock of uninformed investors. No unproven 'vaporware' of 'investments' should be allowed without full SEC scrutiny. We do not need meme stocks, 'alternative' investments, gold, crypto and other risky investments with no underlying value to be
