First off, the amount of corruption in today's market is unbelievable. To see FINRA, an organization that is supposed to protect the integrity of the market; come out with baseless claims to try and keep the public from arguably the safest investment opportunities the market has to offer, definitely seems as if there's an agenda that's not in the best interest of the
My first impression of this proposal is that it is a reaction to activities of individuals during the recent pandemic.

Why are you going to punish responsible investors like me for a few irresponsible and
Hi there, I oppose the proposed regulatory enhancements. I especially disagree with tying the ability to trade or invest in leveraged ETFs (or other "complex funds") to net worth.
