I feel it is discriminatory to have to go through a special process like passing a test before I can invest in leveraged and inverse funds. In finding these funds and evaluating them to invest my money I have inherently proven that I understand these funds and their risks.
The measures proposed would limit my ability to grow my retirement funding and provide for the long term security of my
I have been using and relying on leverage and inverse ETFs to manage my and my families accounts in regular and retirement accounts for decades. The results have been either the same or better than standard mutual funds and have beaten the S&P average on a number of occasions.
A change to the current regulations would potentially negatively affect my investment strategies and family
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. It would be unfair to limit that ability to just the privileged. Public investments should be available to everyone. There should be no requirement to pass a test before being able to buy public funds. It is my obligation to myself to understand the risks involved in leveraged ETFs. Investing in leveraged index funds over the last
Dear FINRA,
Regarding the restriction of funds I can invest in, particularly leveraged and inverse funds, I believe I should be able to decide what I invest in and where my money goes not FINRA. These funds are not complicated to understand and should be available to everyone, not just those with lots of money. I use these as PART of my investment portfolio to help me hedge other investments

Leave these investment funds unregulated, open and free to all investors. It is up to us as investors to determine our own levels of risk vs. return possibility and we as investors in these funds are responsible for any and all of the outcomes from these investments. Personally, inverse ETF funds are my only vehicle to short markets due to retirement account restrictions. Eliminating my access
Dear Sir,
I clearly oppose any restrictions on my investment right. I am retired, meaning old enough to understand the risks of investing in leveraged and inverse funds. So, I only invest in those funds with small portion of my total investment amount. Sometimes, I need investment flexibility of leveraged funds, which can be accomplished with smaller amount of money. And, I invest in inverse
Please do not restrict my rights and ability to invest in the stock market and stocks, exchange traded funds, currency funds etc. It seems that the regulators want to push out smaller investors like me. I am just an average person trying to build a portfolio only to provide funds for a decent, low to middle income retirement. Since banks pay next to to nothing in interest, what other way is there
Gentlemen: I am a 75 year old retired individual who has been involved in the investment world for decades. I have chosen over the years to divest my funds for the sake of my older children, my grandchildren, and now younger children again. I am proud to be an older Dad. I need to have the ability to continue investing in investment strategies that fit for all ages, especially for youngsters who
I assist my retired mom via dividend income investing to supplement her SS benefits, and your contemplated imposition of restrictions to invest would, in practice, forbid me from investing on her behalf because she would not be able to pass those tests on her own.
This year, I used leveraged and inverse funds for my mother's account and met her financial objective. If these tools are
