To whom it may concern: Please do not make even mor difficult for everyday people to participate in US financial markets. We would like more options and even more access to both public and private investments. Thanks for your considerations to these matters
Summary
Pursuant to FINRA Rule 4210(f)(8)(A), FINRA is establishing higher strategy-based margin requirements for exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and options on ETNs in light of the complex nature of these products. The new requirements for initial and maintenance margin are detailed below.
In addition, FINRA is clarifying that ETNs and options on ETNs are not eligible for portfolio
I am a private investor and highly value leveraged and inverse ETFs and derivatives. Regulators should NOT be determining nor limiting my ability to invest in these. They are instruments and strategies that help protect my portfolio when needed. Please do not place restrictions on leveraged and inverse ETFs.
Have you ever wondered who protects investors—and how? FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, is a not-for-profit organization authorized under the federal securities laws and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Alongside the SEC, FINRA oversees U.S. member broker-dealers and their personnel, including individuals who recommend or sell securities products to the public. FINRA’s mission is protecting the investor and ensuring the integrity of our country’s securities markets.
I as an investor who regularly invests in leveraged and inverse funds do not need or want government intrusion regarding my investment choices. There are multiple private entities available that can provide much better, experienced based recommendations. Government involvement as usual, will only worsen the situation.

Executive Summary
NASD Regulation, Inc. (
Just writing to ask that you don't put limitations on what products people can invest in...the middle class has a difficult enough time getting ahead already without having regulators interveening in their private affairs...please allow people the freedom to make their own decisions.
Any investment firm 401 k mutual fund, insurance investment fund, union retirement funds or private citizens should not have ANY RESTRICTIONS ON INVESTMENT CHIOCES THAT WILL PRODUCE THE BEST RETURN FOR INVESTMENT DOLLARS . NO RESTRICTIONS FREE OF CHOICE TO BULID PESRSONAL WEATH SHOULD NEVER BE RESTRICTIED.
Stop the regulatory overreach! This proposal will prevent private investors from making informed decisions about how they want to spend their own money. Your ludicrous, vague and just plain stupid proposal will hurt me from selling investments I have already made! Just STOP IT.
I should be able to choose the public investment that is right for me and my family. Public investment should not just for privileged few. FINRA interest shows private few to get benefit out of PUBLIC fund. I object the restrictions or any measure introduce by FINRA on publicly traded fund.
