I am a long time investor of Inverse leveraged ETF's. The decay risks are well understood and they are an important part of my portfolio, especially in hedging risk. It is my right to choose how to invest my money in these funds and I do not need the FINRA making more ridiculous rules to protect me from myself or creating additional barriers to freely move into and out of these funds at
Comments: I have used leveraged ETFs since 2018 and have been able to understand the risks. I am consistently reminded of the risks and understand that downturns in the market can skew the performance and they are made for short term active trading and monitored regularly.

I strongly believe in the importance of all Americans to guide their own financial decisions, to pursue their investment goals without interference. I am many things: an attorney, a wife, an investor, a mom to be, a video game developer... But under these varied hats, a regular American.

Im a non-professional investor with a liquid net worth of over $3 million. I have been successfully using leveraged funds for more than 10 years as part of a complex investment strategy.

Any restrictions on the investment opportunities of retail investors are fundamentally misguided. Though an increase in due diligence might be helpful in guaranteeing brokers do not offer inappropriate investment advice to their under-informed clients (which is already disallowed), anyone who is willing to read the prospectuses and understand the products they are investing in should be
Leveraged ETFs provide a convenient way for investors to have expanded exposure to an asset with less capital upfront. I understand the expanded risks of these instruments including volatility decay, but I feel that they suit my investment objectives of gaining expanded exposure to a diversified underlying index such as the S&P 500. I have done the math and assessed the risks, and I
As Shareholders of this type of investment, we take our risks under no pressure to buy or own the leverage and inverse fund. I'm concerned about the special process or regulation, if it ever becomes the reality, it restricts our choice or the freedom to strategize our investment. Given the fact that the specific ETF, a high leverage investment type is high risk and we accepted it. If
I have been investing my own money from my self owned business for 50 years. I understand that these and all investments carry a risk and it is my responsibility to investigate the risk and judge what part of my assets I am able to risk. To limit my ability to invest in all products, including leveraged and inverse funds, also limits my ability to participate in the gains, when available. These
I strongly opposed restrictions to my right of investing the way I want. All public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few. I know my investment portfolio and know how to manage the risk, I do not need these measures to impose upon me.
Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategies, and I fully understand leveraged funds and their risks. In
