I am strongly opposed any additional regulations to leveraged and inverse securities. All investments have an element of risk; by requiring a list of pre-requisites to trading these securities, you decrease the investor base with access which could add to increased volatility as well as making the acquisition and disposition of said securities much more difficult. Additionally, further
There are currently many attractive, high return products in private markets that are not made accessible to public market investors. Further limiting trading of complex securities makes these unfair advantages even greater. I believe it is important to recognize and accept the associated risks, but regulators should not prohibit investment in such securities.

I made the choice to invest in leverage ETFs like TQQQ. I fully understand the risk of this type of investment and would like to till have the choice to invest in it for years.

Dear FINRA:
As a systematic strategy, I have incorporated leveraged ETFs in my portfolio for the last six years. The strategy is mathematical and I follow an algorithm that determines when to buy or sell.

SEC Approves Reporting Asset-Backed Securities Transactions to TRACE and Related Fees
As a retail investor with over 15 years experience, I would like to urge FINRA to enact, with all haste, any and all new rules or amendments that make the American market more transparent and fair for all investors. For far too long the majority of investors have been in the dark in regards to short interest, robbing us of the ability to make informed decisions while researching and deciding on
This country was built in taking risks, and learning from them. If people are stopped from investing in certain securities, sure they may be saved from one bad trade. But that knowledge is incredibly valuable, and the money they can make with that knowledge is worth the sting.

I strongly oppose setting up special regulations in regards to individuals trading in leveraged and inverse ETFs. They can be an important part of any active investor's portfolio!
