I have a reasonable networth and enough understanding of markets to know that occasionally someone may want to hedge their portforlios or part of it due to the volatility we see often in this world. By restricting the use of inverse funds and ETF's, you might actually cause many investors to lose more money because their ability to have alternative investments are not available. I do believe FINRA wants to help protect investors but in fact may be doing quite the opposite. I am strongly opposed to your making it more difficult to use these investments. Please reconsider your new position on this issue.
