I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. 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 understanding leveraged and inverse funds
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
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.
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
High net worth requirements are a horrible restriction to place on leveraged securities. A regulator imposed test , and attesting to reading certain materials is fine because anyone has the capabilities to do this, many individuals have been investing their entire lives and have a plethora of knowledge and would not be able to meet this high net worth requirement. Leverage and inverse securities
I believe that retail leveraged funds, accessible to the public, are important to keep alive and available without additional regulation. If we take these away, normal citizens will be at a disadvantage compared with institutional investors (who will still have access to these, even if in different ways).
I do not believe that we should impose additional tests or hurdles for public citizens to
I am an ordinary investor, with a regular day job. I do not have time to take classes or tests or extra regulatory hoops in order to manage my portfolio, and yet I am perfectly capable of understanding that some investment vehicles are more risky than others.
As a regulatory organization, you are stepping over the line if you are stopping me from taking part in a legitimate investment fund
