Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to amend FINRA Rule 11892 (Clearly Erroneous Transactions in Exchange-Listed Securities) to make the current clearly erroneous pilot program permanent and limit the circumstances under which clearly erroneous review would be available.
I am a simple accountant from Long Island, NY. I have been investing in inverse ETF's for 13 years. In 2009 I left a low paying job as a tax auditor for the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. They cashed out my accrued pension benefits, which were worth $6,500. I deposited this money into a traditional IRA rollover account with a broker in February 2009. I invested 20% of the
I am a licensed broker and financial advisor with industry credentials and could likely meet most of the criteria FINRA proposes to impose. However, I believe it's morally unjust and politically undemocratic to restrict the use of powerful investment tools to the wealthy and well-connected.
I as an investor who chose to do my own research on a variety of public securities after seeking the advice of a financial advisor and broker am confident in my own abilities and do not require coddling and layers of testing and restrictions on my portfolio.

I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Regulators have no idea of my financial needs and especially right now, it is imperative that I get the ability to invest in a declining market.
Regulating leveraged ETF's is a terrible idea. Leveraged ETF's are a important financial tool that retail investors can use to get returns like professional investors. Regulating them will hurt retail investors and restrict access to an important part of the stock market.
