Your latest attempt to limit retail access to leveraged and inverse
If FINRA limits access to levered ETFs, they are only hurting the retail investors. Levered ETFs allow investors the ability to achieve better long-run performance for their retirement portfolios. On average, the market return is about 10% since WW2. Levered ETFs allow investors the ability to easily lever these positive expected returns and grow their portfolio without the risk of margin

Perhaps the reason retail traders lost money on some of these things is because institutional investors have an artificial advantage created by current rules, and not
ProShares, a purveyor of leveraged ETFs among other "complex products", is canvassing its shareholders to submit public comments here. I am one such shareholder, but personally I'm glad that FINRA is helping to protect investors from the pitfalls of complex products, which, as the notice rightly states, can be dangerous to the uninformed.
