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.
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-
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
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
Leveraged EFTs are an important part to my portfolio. With them I am able to carefully gain exposure to the market at a reduced portion of my total invested capital.

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. Although it's a limited part of my overall portfolio, these investment strategies are important to me and my family as it allows me to protect and grow my
I'm invested in a few products that I signed onto prior to prototype development. some of them needed the startup capital to build the prototype in the first place. Some only work within a full network of prototypes. Requiring testing limits creativity only to those with significant resources. This negatively affects investors and inventors and undermines prospective small business
As a long-term holder of leveraged and inverse investment positions, I would vehemently oppose the removal of these investment vehicles.
These investments broaden my set of choices and exposure without requiring as much capital or the need for options trading.
The removal of options from a publicly traded market place deprives it of diversity. Diversity allows investors to better invest their
I oppose any restrictions that may unnecessarily eliminate or appropriate restrictions on investments being considered under SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 to the extent that it provides a platform for intuitions to manipulate or gain advantage over retail investors. Free market capitalism should not be compromised by individuals fears or inability to educate oneself in an era of communication and
Hello, I disagree with the proposed regulation. I believe it is up to the investor to risk his/her assets in the way he or she sees fit. 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
