Please allow personal investors to buy these type of public investments without putting up roadblocks based on bureaucratic rules with no basis in facts. I have invested in inverse funds and derivatives for over 20 years and have averaged at least an annual return on my investments of 11%. In times of bear markets, leveraged and inverse funds are a great tool to get a positive return on your
These rules changes seem to be helpful except for the "alternatively" found all over the place. Make all these rules in effect, no alternatives. FINRA should get all the information possible about any financial activity and make as much as possible of that information public. The originator of a short position should be on the hook for the short position. Currently, if a market maker
If there is one way I can make up my losses, is thru leveraged ETFs. Please stop this madness. Traders are smart enough to read and educate themselves before buying leveraged or inverse ETFs, including myself. If you like to help the traders, here is something much more important you can do: Make our funds available right away after each transaction and/or at least within the hour. In this age of
[REDACTED] Instead of holding naked short sellers accountable, or exposing crime in dark pools, or punishing the racketeering and fraud running rampant on Wall Street, you [REDACTED] who claim to operate as a regulatory agency have conceived a plot [REDACTED] retail traders instead.

Investing with leveraged and inverse ETFs provides me the ability to take advantage of market movement and sector activity without risk of concentrating into
Comments: To: FINRA,
I have been an active trader for many years using Leveraged and Inverse (L&I) Funds fairly successfully. I understand their limitations and risks from various literature/warnings and from my own experience. I strongly suggest that investors and brokerage firms do not need additional regulations to effectively use L&I Funds. This would only make these
Why would you be taking our ability to invest in leveraged funds away from us? Ive been investing for over 40 years and regularly use these types of funds as hedges against certain events.
Perhaps turn your efforts against the Wall Street market makers and movers who unfairly manipulate the market with dark pools and paper shorts that never have to be made good on by actually delivering instead
(a) U.S. Hearing Location
(1) The Director will decide which of FINRA's hearing locations will be the hearing location for the arbitration. In cases involving an associated person, the Director will generally select the hearing location closest to where the associated person was employed at the time of the events giving rise to the dispute, unless the hearing location closest to the
To whom it may concern, How dare you [REDACTED] sit there and try to make us, the consumer, have even less choices to decide what we do with our money and investment plans? We should be the one that makes the choices not you.

Hi, I like to have freedom to invest in leveraged and inverse funds without going through tests and additional constraints. I usually do my research on what I'm investing and so knowledgeable enough to make my own independent decisions considering all risks involved. I usually use these funds to hedge my investments or get some higher returns based on their leverage. I want investment
