Dear FINRA Administrators: I understand that FINRA is considering limits to individual investment choice and I am strongly opposed to any such action. I believe individual choice should remain paramount and what any individual invests in should not be limited by government or administrators who think "they know better." Please remember, if I choose to invest in a leveraged fund - I am
Dear FINRA regulators,
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest, including the restriction to buy leveraged and inversed funds.

What happened to FREEDOM?
Why is my FREEDOM so regulated?
These rules are not that of a free market.
I understand leveraged funds are more risk and with that risk comes responsibility, just like alcohol. Like alcohol you can do one drunk mistake that could upheave your life, people can lose all their savings in the stock market; Anyone trading and investing in the market fully understands this,

FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective
