Dear FINRA,
I'm writing to express my strong opposition to any regulations that limit my ability to choose and manage my investments. I am a regular, individual investor and I use leveraged investments regularly. They have helped me secure my nest egg for retirement and I would be greatly disadvantaged without them. Please do not limit investor's choices. I submit my strong
I should be able to invest based on what I am able to invest and where I choose to invest it. There is no need for a special process for this. I can make my own risk assessment based on my earnings etc. Many of the funds I use as a hedge against a market crash in order to protect my earnings. It makes no sense to remove these types of investments. When used within your individual risk profile
It will be totally unfair and extremely biased to regulate investors on how and where they choose to invest. My brokerage already issues warnings before investing in certain funds so your interference is unnecessary.

If this country refuses to let people choose their investments what is the point of being a US citizen? This is
Comments: Direxion has helped me get almost to the point of retirement 3 times faster than any other way possible. There is no way that I could have saved the money and made the gains that Direxion has given me without making huge sacrifices and a significant change to my lifestyle. Stopping small investors from using leveraged ETFs is really the government's way of preventing us from
Leveraged ETFs have been an equalizer for my middle class family of 5. I wont use money on margin, and leveraged ETFs have allowed me to significantly increase our familys financial security into retirement. We are a young family as my wife and myself are under 40. We understand the risks, and have been able to utilize these financial instruments in a beneficial way that no other options can.
Dear Sirs, for several years I have been investing in the market and I am well aware of the risks and rewards of the available assets and tools to negotiate them. I am a retired small trader with accounts at three different brokers, therefore I wrote three of these comments, one for each platform. I am an educated person and feel comfortable and aware of my investment proficiency, Please, do not
I am now retired and age 76 but worked most of my career investing as a fiduciary on behalf of pensions, foundations, and endowment founds. I now invest my own IRA via ETrade and have sometimes used leveraged ETFs to manage risk. For example, since I hold some longer term corporate bonds I recently used the TBT ProShares ultrashort Treasury bond to hedge against the rise in interest rates. Please
I have used leverage funds over the past fifteen years. They are integral part of my investment strategy, one that has allowed me to retire early. This constituent a limited portion of my portfolio but have allowed enhanced returns.
