EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved an amendment to Article III, Section 28 of the NASD Rules of Fair Practice requiring an associated person to notify the employer member in
To whom it may concern:
FINRA needs to focus on making sure everyone has access to all investment options. If only wealthy get access to leveraged and inverse, then they will be only ones with wealth. All investors should have access to these styles of investment tools. I am more than capable to determine the amount of risk I can accept and having a broker or the government make that decision
Absolutely absurd and that its being proposed that regular people should have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
People are perfectly capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. The last thing we need is more government interference. If anything we should be eliminating the option for anyone in government
I believe that each individual should take the time to understand and then accept the risks of the instruments they use to invest or they should not be using these instruments.
In my opinion, I support the right of individuals to use leveraged ETFs and other alternative financial instruments as a part of their investment strategy. I do not support the government limiting the individual's
It does not make sense to limit leveraged investments as long as I can get a mortgage for 20% or less down payment in an asset which can lose 50% in the matter of months during a recession.

I dont need regulations nannying me. Im more than capable of understanding the risks of investing in leveraged and inverse funds.
Leveraged and inverse
Hello. The opportunity to use leveraged funds is essential to me as an average investor who is not ready to play the options market. Nor do I have time to manage options. All investments have risks and, if managed correctly, can provide returns over the proper time horizons. Please dont take the opportunity for average investors to leverage their funds right after the most historic bull market in
Please leave inverse and leveraged long funds alone as these provide strong flexibility and conservative positioning for retirement and other investable funds for me and my family. Some of the futures-based funds and 5/1 leveraged funds are of course high risk so some scrutiny there is fine or go after and scrutinize options markets and crypto markets but comparatively speaking, 1/1 and 2/1
Inverse funds are a tool that even a small investor (in my 401K by the way) can use to hedge his portfolio in a situation like the one we've had in the last two weeks where markets have been declining, and may have further to go. I have offset some of the losses from my long portfolio with the gains from the inverse nasdaq position I'm holding.
Inverse funds are legitimate
