To Whom It May Concern, I am greatly concerned about any additional cost further regulation and compliance will have on complex trading products, particularly leveraged ETFs. I am concerned about additional regulations which may increase the time it takes to get approval for trading complex products. I purchased leveraged ETFs on market indices, however there was five years of research in search
Quote "important regulatory concerns arise when investors trade complex products without understanding their unique characteristics and risks. Like complex products, trading in options may pose risks if investors do not have the financial experience to understand options and options trading strategies" my comments: [1] risks of trading complex products won't change no matter traded
I have been investing for many years and it is just un-american to try to stop normal up standing American citizens from the right to make their own investment decisions. It is important that each individual have the right to choose the best investments for their family. All investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged super-rich who then take advantage of the
Most people completely understand all the risks inherent in leveraged and inverse funds. Brokerages provide notices for people who do not understand them as a warning (which should be enough!) and it should be an investors responsibility to know what they are investing into.

Hello. I firmly oppose this FINRA Regulatory Notice. I am the one who should have agency in my financial decisions and it is not up to regulators to only let a certain subset of the population have access.

Why only block leveraged products? I say block the whole stock market for people with less than a million dollars in liquidity. Please create more and tougher hurdles for pleabian class people like us so it becomes even tougher for regular folks like us to climb the financial ladder.
