Dear FINRA,
Public investments should be available to all of the public not just the privileged. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.
I have done my own research and are well capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in
Leveraged and inverse funds are NOT too arcane and complex for the typical investor. They provide an important counterbalance to market volatility generated by ultrafast automated algorithms programs which DO impinge on the typical investor. I urge you to NOT limit the access of the typical investors to these funds.
Telling one how they can invest/spend/lose or grow their money, or NOT allowing one to do what they want with their money is against American freedom.

The enhancements require associated updates to FINRA’s trade reporting guidance, as described in greater detail in the Trade Reporting Notice. These enhancements are being
This is complete insanity. Might as well be called the "Forced Pay Wall Street 3% Your Net Worth A Year Rule". Now advanced financial products will be cut off for everyone except the ultra wealthy? How could you possibly think this was a good idea? How about we drop the charade and just ban retail brokerage accounts. Really let wealth advisors run crazy when they know there is no one
As an amateur investor, I find leveraged and inverse funds to be a huge help in complementing my investments and hedging against falling markets.

I should be able to choose which publicly traded investments are right for my investment objectives and not regulators. All people should have the ability to buy publicly traded funds and not just those who are at a certain net worth. I understand the way the funds I use work and the risks involved and do not need to pass a test to prove my proficiency. These funds help me protect my portfolio
