Limiting the ability for all investors to choose the investments that they want us a large overstep by regulators. Rules such as these do not provide additional protection to investors but instead provide hurdles for individuals that they cannot meet and limits their access to potential enhanced returns.
Broker dealers already provide disclosures that clients have to agree to before their
We are in the dawn of the empowered, intelligent investor and these restrictions are a clear step backwards in empowering the individual to make choices for their own financial well-being.
Leveraged funds have allowed me to seek enhanced returns without the need for obtaining further credit. This was incredibly helpful when I was younger and had less ability to obtain credit lines for this
Regarding Regulatory Notice 22-08, I am submitting my comments opposed to this proposed regulation. Limiting access to inverse and leveraged ETFs is unnecessary and only reinforces public opinion that the 'system is rigged' against the retail investor.
I have used these ETFs for short-term positions and have found the disclosures and warnings about these issues to be clear
I am against more nanny state regulations. We as individuals need to be able to make our own decisions.
People with high net worth are also incapable of making financial decisions, they just got lucky.
If this investment is inappropriate for individual investors such as myself, then why is it even an option? Just remove it for all investors.
I am capable of making my own investment decisions and
Please,
Let Me Choose how I invest.
I do not want any new restrictions.
I have been using Leveraged ETFs
like those offered by Proshares for Years.
I fully understand what I am doing and why,
and it is very important to me to be able to continue.

I oppose FINRA's limitations on my ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds. These are public funds, but proposed limitations on my ability to buy and sell these instruments will make them available only to a select group.
I have used these types of instruments for many years as a hedge in my portfolio. I am certainly able, and motivated to understand risks and upsides to leveraged
As an investor, I'd like to decide for myself for what I can invest in. I oppose for the regulators to limit my freedom of choice when it comes to what I can invest.
I should not have to go through any unnecessary special process such as passing a test before I can invest in any publicly available investment products including leveraged and inverse funds.
Specially for leverage and
I do not need a regulator to tell me when and how I can invest in leveraged or inverse funds. They are easy products to understand and much less complicated than options. Inverse leveraged ETFs in particular, provide vital hedges against market volatility when one wishes to hold positions in common stocks they believe in, but understand market sentiment is going in a negative direction. This kind
I am writing to express my concern about the potential regulations being considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). If these regulations are enacted, it would restrict my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, as well as many other popular investment vehicles that are deemed to be complex. I am a college student who is interested in investing in leveraged and
I find the very premise that in the largest capital market system in the world, there are regulators that are attempting to not allow inverse or leveraged ETFs.
