Let every investor decide their risk tolerance and allow for the general public to invest in leveraged funds.
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. I strongly believe public investments should be available to all investors .
To price Americans out of investing instruments or to impose any measures that keep retail investors from accessing investment instruments is just about as un-American as it gets. Many investors, myself included, find leveraged and inverse ETFs as unique opportunities to obtain margin without needing a margin-enabled account or without taking on direct debt to invest in the stock market.

The FINRA is a private group working FOR the government and should not have this oversight. Anyways. I should be allowed to invest in leveraged products (inverse or otherwise) and explode my own account if I want to. There's nobody to blame but my self if I make a stupid [REDACTED] investment and get nuked. It's no different then playing the options market (which is basically gambling,
I have been investing for quite some time and several years ago started looking into leveraged/inverse funds. I feel it is a better way to diversify my portfolio.

I am fully aware of all the risks. I have been investing in leveraged ETFs for more than 15 years, and use them for hedging and for decreasing the amount I invest to get a similar result. Another
Please be advised that I oppose restrictions FINRA wants to impose on public investors. Leveraged & inverse funds are an important part of any diversified portfolio. Having to meet certain criteria to invest in inverse funds restricts my ability to enhance my overall return. Public investments should be available to all, not a select few.
I have been investing for approximately 30 years and understand investments come with risks. I also understand inverse funds and how they work. We do not need any more cumbersome regulations imposed on investing.
This suggestion to restrict is UnAmerican and is counter-productive. The ETFs make it easy to go long or short the markets just like the big companies and billionaires do.
You should not discriminate against individuals, that is illegal.
Thank you for considering an alternative view.
