Proposed Rule Change to Adopt FINRA Rule 3280 (Private Securities Transactions of an Associated Person) in the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook
I wish to tell you in the strongest possible way that I am absolutely apposed to the government telling me or my family how to invest my hard earned money in public investments, especially inverse public securities. I have used inverse funds for years to protect my portfolio against major downturns like we are experiencing right now in the market. They are an important hedge against irrational
FINRA is soliciting comment on a concept proposal to establish liquidity risk management requirements. The concept proposal describes a potential rule, labeled Rule 4610, that is intended to ensure that members have sufficient liquid assets to meet their funding needs in both normal and stressed conditions. Broadly, the proposal outlines three areas where a potential rule might address liquidity risk, including liquidity stress testing, contingent funding plans and a requirement to maintain sufficient liquidity on a current basis at all times.

As a private investor I should be allowed to choose where to invest my capital as I take full responsibility for the outcomes of my investment strategy. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and am fully aware of the risks

"Protecting us from ourselves" -- i.e., barring us from choosing to take a on position of high risk and high reward -- has no place in America, especially in an area so obviously volatile as the equity markets. Existing regulations well protect us citizens from being duped. Adding regulations to try to protect us from financial losses is a patronizing fool's errand, which will only
