I don't believe FINRA should restrict 'complex' products from average or retail investors. All trading has risks and where does FINRA stop in regards to restricting retail traders, this is a very slippery slope. Sure it makes sense to have brokers post messages on some products, but this feels like a ploy to hurt retail investors not protect them. This should not be
Adding additional rules and regulations to the market place is counter productive and not in the best interests of the trading public. As a long term investor in the US market place (50+ years) the caveats posted with any investment are the responsibility of the investor to read and make note of. To make it more difficult for a self directed investor to participate in all types of available
Comments:I have traded L&I ETFs in the past. My broker's website asked me to first declare intentions for my account that were consistent with L&I products (short term and actively monitored.) I feel this was more than sufficient to dissuade any uninformed investor that didn't know what they were getting into. I don't want to be "protected" from these
Restrictions on who can trade leveraged funds is not a good solution. Retail investors deserve to have the same access to the markets as professional investors. Personally, I made alot of money in 2021 and lost most of it in 2022 in leveraged trading...and , while nobody wants to lose money, I am completely ok with it because I got to choose when to buy and when to sell... it's freedom
Dear SEC: I am heavily invested in multiple crypto currencies because I have no confidence in the dollar, the U.S. Government and the regulatory agencies. The administration has orchestrated the prosecution of an avoidable and preventable war in the Ukraine which has married Russia to China on their economies and has resulted in a weakening of the dollar as the world's main trading currency
Comments: I believe limiting trading in leverage funds is unfair and wrong. I am more than capable of figuring out how leverage works and if I should be investing in leveraged instruments. If Im able to buy a lottery ticket or go gamble my money away at a casino I should [REDACTED] sure be able to bet it on a leverage stock market etf. Who are you to tell me how to spend my money?
I have already been blocked out of adding to my investments on certain crypto apps. Why are you preventing me from earning interest on assets that I purchase? you did the same thing when you shut down GameStop trading to cover your [REDACTED] because you had shorted the heck out of it, beyond any reasonable amount. Dont let your greed destroy you.
First, there is no rule that can be put in place where the repurcussions are fines. Fines are a cost of doing business. Period. The street always makes far more money illegally then they pay in fines. 150% minimum fines. Now, that said, self reporting is a joke. We have the systems and technology available to ensure trades are marked correctly, that they are delivered adequately, not
There is no reason to restrict the retail investor from Leveraged and Inverse ETFs. The ETF companies and brokerage firms put out plenty of information and education about their products to keep the average investor informed. Trading stocks is risky it is not FINRA job to protect investors and traders from risk. As long as the ETF producers and brokerage firms make the information about the

They should talk to thier adviser before investing this product. so please do not punish all investor because some investor does not under stand.
