I am disturbed and appalled to hear that FINRA is planning to prohibit my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I adamantly oppose to any regulator deciding how I should invest! I am angered by this arrogant and tyrannical effort to restrict how a consumer should invest his/her money. This is a clear and coordinated attack on the retail consumer to place the wealthy at a clear

To whom it may concern,
FINRA has proposed a raft of potential restrictions on so-called "complex" investment products, among them leveraged and inverse funds. Whereas some of the proposed restrictions are at least somewhat reasonable, like passing some sort of rudimentary test to ensure the investor is aware of what the product is, others are downright outrageous, such as not

It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective

I believe after reviewing the current rules, and revision suggestions made, that it is INCREDIBLY important that FINRA immediately implement the changes as suggested AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. It is apparent that the system of reporting is severely outdated and antiquated relative to the available technology and communication speeds of today. It has become quite clear that the nature of this antiquated
To the fine folks at FINRA and the SEC -
Enough is enough. Over the years your efforts to protect investors from predatory industry practices have been nothing but stellar. But at some point in the last 20 years or so, you have jumped the proverbial shark. I have watched as the requirements for disclosure, for the tiny-print that extends to infinity (and beyond), all part of a steady yet woefully
