I have been successfully trading in leveraged ETFs for over a decade. I had not been able to save much for retirement but the leveraged ETFs have allowed me to catch up on the shortfall in a meaningful and substantive way. The use of leveraged ETFs is the very foundation of my trading methods. Eliminating effective tools from the market will be devastating to my plans and hope for a comfortable
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I am well educated on how and where to invest. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and rewards. I am planning investment accordingly. Such funds are important to my investment strategies, this should
Leveraged security and option instruments are important components of both my short and long term investment plans. Over-regulating these financial instruments could potentially cause great financial harm and substantially reduce future returns. Limiting investments to only individuals of high net worth seems to be against the Equal Protection Clause established by the 14th Amendment to the US
I am opposed to regulation #22-08.
I should be about to make my own decisions about my investments, not regulators. Nor should I be required to take tests to prove myself. I can read & understand the notices that are provided when I choose an investment. They are plenty sufficient.
Some of the funds that are planned to be limited, like inverse funds, are critical to my investment
Sirs,
It is not clear what regulations you plan that would limit leveraged/inverse EFT and similar inventments. However, I would like to strongly suggest that anyone with several years experience in stocks/options be allowed to trade them unless their account is in the "savings" category v.s.

When does FINRA plan on improving their T+x system so that it’s not so abusable by hedge funds and other institutions? Blockchain for same day settlement? Are any kind of improvements coming on for retail investors in the form of information availability? As in, the info will be available sooner and will actually be relevant content and not 3 months delayed and barely relevant to the market upon

Mandatory Testing
On October 5, 1998, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD®) filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that would mandate Year 2000 testing for clearing firms, market makers, and government securities firms. The proposed rule also would strongly encourage testing between correspondent clearing firms and
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I have invested in leveraged funds for years with significant success. I am clearly a small investor and have learned about the importance of knowing when to get out of an investment of any type. If you follow your plan you can limit your losses when the market turns against the investments you have made whether leveraged or not.
To whom it may concern,
Ive been retired for 5 years. Ive also been trading leveraged funds for more than 20 years. Theyve become an important part of my financial plan.
Taking away my ability to trade these funds makes no sense in a free market country like ours.
I cant emphasize enough about how strongly I feel about this freedom.
I am 83 yrs. old and live on social security and a 700.00 pension. If I lose the rights to invest in the types of funds then there is no way I can survive the inflation. I an a very small investor and have planned so in can survive but if you eliminate these in verse funds I will probably be on welfare in the near future. These are the only way some of us have to survive. Besides not everyone
