Dear FINRA,
Having been an investor for over 50 years, I feel that your proposed new regulations are going to essentially restrict
access to important tools necessary to successfully INVEST in the financial markets. The institutions and BIG BOYS will not be affected but the individual investor will certainly be hampered by these restrictions. Instead of levelling the playing field, these will
I believe that restricting access to these investments what hurt far more people than just allowing the risk to be there. I believe the majority of investors understand that funds that offer higher returns come with higher risk. It is already made clear in the prospectuses of every fund. Please let us make our own decisions. Many of us have been in these funds for years and they are an important
I am opposed to the restrictions FINRA is proposing on the ability of retail investors to buy leveraged and inverse ETFs. For one, this is an impugnment on basic freedom that the US is supposed to stand for. I am more than capable of reading the basic documentation for these funds and understanding the risks I choose to take. They are also critically important to my investing strategy and
As an investor, I should have the freedom to choose my own investments and take full responsibilities for my gains as well as losses. I will never invest on anything that will test my ability to invest or make sound decisions. The financial crisis is a perfect example of over regulated investments. I want to be able to invest in a market on the way up as well as on the way down. Regulators always

It is time for big government to get their nose out of my business, the public's business and the states business. This has gone too far now, government is too big and wasteful. We, the people have had enough interference from the most incompetent people (congress) when it comes to finances. It is government who needs to be controlled financially, and not the people. Our debt is so high we
Hi there,
I'd like to say the right for investors to access all investment products is very important. The "complex" financial products seem high risk. But they allows investors to use them to hedge the stock investment. If the common investors are blocked from these "complex" products, they have to exposure all their investment in stock positions. It
As an investment professional, using these products in a responsible way with educated investors are an important to managing appropriate risk depending on market conditions. For less affluent retail investors who may not be able to use margin, options, or shorting strategies on their own, these products can give them access to strategies that can help them hedge their risk. These products are
Dear Regulator,
I should have the ability to invest in the kind of security I want. I have deep understandings of what these kind of products are as I have been in the financial markets for long enough. I do not invest big portion in this type of products but are of vital importance for my investment strategy. I use inverse funds which bring a huge opportunity in times like this when the market
