Dear Finra, My name is Kevin, as a retail investor the only thing I personally request in behalf of all retail traders is a fair market. Meaning no manipulation of stocks, naked short selling of stocks that are not even of existence. I have come to realize that none of these illegal practices are being taken in to consideration as far as correction. Hedge funds have been doing this for years and
It is troubling that regulators are trying to limit or stop trading this stock.
COMMENTS ON 22-08 You have made this request for comments so complicated that it is hard to follow. I will just list my ideas and you can try to sort them out. On my trip from model airplanes to airline captain I have made many replies that affected new FARs. This a free country and everyone should be able to risk some $ and try to make more $. This should include hedge funds, but limited to a
I do not support restrictions on peoples freedom to invest. While perhaps the intentions are good it is a slippery slope to start restricting trading on certain investments, such as leveraged and inverse trading vehicles. While these funds may indeed have higher risk, so do many individual stocks. Not all companies and their corresponding stocks are equal, people make investment choices all

Dear FINRA, I am concerned about the potential changes that could affect my ability to purchase leveraged and inverse funds. I am an ardent supporter of the general public having access to the funds without the need to make these purchases though privileged brokers. I am well aware of the limitations and risk involved with these funds. The process that is being considered to make these purchases
I dont understand the need for this regulation.
I understand the risk of EVERY investment I make, whether it be real estate, art, stocks, ETFs, etc. Furthermore, I understand leveraged risk, and I gladly risk what I can afford to lose. I dont know why FINRA feels the need to impose restrictions on such public securities. Baffles me.
Furthermore, leveraged and inverse funds are vital to my
Traded securities including leveraged and inverse funds should be open to everyone and not just the rich or the privileged. Their risk is not greater than picking a security that may go down to zero (Kodak, Sears etc.). As a matter of fact, they are safer than single stocks, penny stocks, highly leveraged companies etc. because they represent an investment in an index of multiple companies. Going
The stock market should be open, transparent, and only minimally regulated to prevent predatory or scam-like investments. People should be generally free to invest in whatever they choose whether that be bitcoin, inverse funds, "traditional" funds, individual stocks and bonds etc... etc...
