Comments: I like trading leveraged and inverse ETFs and don't want additional limits placed on the investors. I understand the risks and believe that additional limits on these investments will only hurt the small investor while big Wall Street firms can do what they want. It is important for FINRA not to hurt the small investor.
A free market implies free trading with all available instruments. The limitations are a financial dictatorship. I will not trust a market that changes its rules every now and then in favor of some special interests and government convenience. You better focus on making the same rules for everyone and NOT make select categories with "special" rules

What I have witnessed over the past year or so that is going on with stock $GME and $AMC is on a whole different scale. I was new to trading until I got involved signing up with RobinHood earlier in 2020. During that time I wanted to buy in to $GME and was blocked from doing so "for my own protection." essentially missing out on hundreds of dollars or more. I have seen unknown entities
Dear Sir or Madam
I have responsibly used leveraged and inverse funds for > 5 years. I know exactly what they are and how they function. I strongly resist having to go through any special process, test, special limitations or any restrictions on my ability to purchase, sell short or otherwise trade these securities.
The strategies implemented in leveraged and inverse publicly traded funds are important to me and should have no special process or tests for investors like me. I am capable of understanding the ins and outs and risks associated with these type of funds and they help me protect my investments and help with overall returns to my portfolio.
You have no idea how your regulation will close off the ability of small investors to grow their investments to retire in a better space. Why you favor Wall Street and not Main Street, I don't understand. Public traded investments should be available to all of the people, not just the already rich billionaires.
I am an investor in leveraged funds like TQQQ and perfectly understand the risks involved in such funds. I do not want to go through any test to prove my ability to trade such funds. Please do not place undue burden on investors by bringing in unnecessary hurdles like a test, high N/W etc
I'm fully aware of the risk involved with leveraged trades. That's why I put effort into the research I perform. I DO NOT need the Government "looking out for my best interest ". I love the freedom of investing outside of my TSP. This love diminishes with every regulation that aims to lookout for us unaccredited investors
