As a retail investor, I find it insulting and disrespectful that FINRA could think that leveraged and inverse ETFs and other products are too complex for the retail investor to use and that you need to protect us from these products. I have used various leveraged and inverse products for many years and had made significant amounts of money trading with these important tools. If you remove these
Dear FINRA Regulators,
I understand that you are AGAIN considering to limit my capability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. This the the second time in about 5 or 6 years you have attempted to do this. Please DO NOT impose your proposed limitations because this would hurt small investors, such as myself, to utilize such tools for investments and protection against major market swings.
Why is FINRA so [REDACTED] on stacking the deck against retail investors?! Is it because the market is getting ready to crash and only institutional investors are allowed to benefit from it? I have a significant investments in 2 inverse funds and I know the risks. FINRA is not my financial guardian and I do not need any extra regulation imposed on me. This is the second time I've had to
I use leveraged funds as a partial strategy in my brokerage portfolio. Right now, my entire portfolio has pulled back, as a natural economic occurrence. If you artificially constrict the volume of activity that would naturally occur in any way, my chances of recovering, over the long run, are doomed. The leveraged fund that is loved by millions of traders and investors is the TQQQ. It is made up
I wish to state my strongest objection to what I perceive to be an overt attempt by power-hungry control freaks in the federal government relating to limiting access to investment opportunities in, among other vehicles, inverse and leveraged funds. This is nothing more than a solution in search of a problem, in my view, and is a dangerous step toward government control of the marketplace.

Please note my concerns about proposals to limit my access to various publicly traded investments. The bulk of my investments are either individual stocks or ETFs and mutual funds (either stocks, bonds or various alternatives like REITs or commodities). Occasionally, especially in times of market stress or at highs, I will take very modest positions in inverse products to offer some downside
As a retail trader myself, these regulations are vastly unnecessary. Why all of a sudden is the SEC and FINRA wanting to limit us small traders on Complex Products? This seems like they are in favor of the hedge funds and institutional investors only. I've personally researched all about Leveraged and Inverse Leveraged ETF's before i've invested in them. I know all the
I oppose restrictions to my right to buy leveraged and inverse funds
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of
Dear Finra,
I am absolutely opposed to regulation on leveraged ETFs. I have been using them for years and they are part of my long term strategy for growth in my Roth IRA. I know the risk I am taking and I have a long time horizon for these investments. I have studied the markets for 20 years and learned about economics and even technical analysis of the price charts on my own through all
I, the investor, and not you, the regulators, should be the one to choose the public investments that are right for me.
This is a matter of basic principle, and therefore of first importance: PUBLIC investments should be available to ALL the public, not just the privileged, who are already more than privileged enough.
What you propose is part of an insulting trend: the "Nanny State
