I am shocked and disheartened to know that regulations/prospectuses are under consideration to preclude retail investors from trading the Leveraged and Inverse ETFs, such as TQQQ and SQQQ, etc. As a retail investor with limited funds to hedge against market risks, for instance, I often buy SQQQ to protect my tech stock position without holding up a large proportion of my liquidity, which has
I am not a child, and am fully capable of making my own decisions about investing, just like I can buy my own house, car, and insurance. I don't need regulators telling me how to invest. I am fully aware of all the risks. I have been investing in leveraged ETFs for more than 15 years, and use them for hedging and for decreasing the amount I invest to get a similar result. Another
Response to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) proposed rules on leveraged ETFs Leveraged ETFs may be volatile but it is not more volatile than many individual securities.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!
While the situations cited in Regulation 22-8 (involving money loss by trusting individuals) surely are disheartening, imposing regulations on the general public is not the answer. When I began trading in complex investmentments online, a warning appeared before I could purchase and I had to sign paperwork stating that I understood the risks. I feel
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me hedge my investments and enhance my returns, and I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio. I have been investing for more than 10 years. With the experience plus my education - a PhD from a university in the U.S., I am capable of understanding leveraged and
I am shocked and surprised that in a free world, attempts are made to restrict our citizens from trading what investment they are allowed to buy.
It is my right to choose which public investment is right for me, and all public investments shall be offered to everyone not just the privileged ones.
Every citizen should have this right and nobody should restrict this right. It should not be that I
FINRA administrator: I am writing to urge you to not infringe on my ability to direct my own investments, particularly regarding inverse or so-called "bear" funds. We have governmental bodies and procedures in place to determine if a person is mentally fit to manage their own affairs. Barring a determination that I am unfit to do so, I should have every right to invest my assets in the
Leveraged funds are important to my overall investing strategy. I understand the risks of investing in them and use them as part of a broader portfolio of investments to enhance my returns. In my opinion, leveraged etfs provide a MUCH safer alternative to many other common methods of increasing returns such as margin, options and investing in penny stocks. It would be unfair and unjust for
I am strongly against FINRAs proposed limits that may restrict access to L&I Funds or to disqualify me from trading L&I Funds or other "complex products".
I have a strong understanding of the characteristics and risks of L&I Funds, and that their purpose is for short-term active trading, and that they should be monitored regularly.
