This is extremely disturbing information that FINRA would seek to limit individual investor access to more complex investment products. Retail investors are already saddled with significant disadvantages. This only serves to further stack the regulations against them. I invested in leveraged products fully aware of the inherent risks. To take these investments away from those retail investors
I spend alot of time researching and pay consulants for information for stocks to buy. I don't feel it should be up to somebody else to decide if we can buy shares of any stock.
Everyday the stock market is a risk i am willing to take, i feel this more would allow the rich to become richer and block the everyday Joe out from making money. I feel ther is a hidden agenda behind this.
Representatives of broker-dealers, investment advisers or issuers of securities must use the Form U4 (Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer) to be registered with the appropriate jurisdictions and/or self-regulatory organizations (SROs). FINRA, other SROs and jurisdictions use the Form U4 to elicit employment history, disciplinary and other information about individuals to register them.
I have been using leveraged ETFs exclusively in my brokerage and retirement investment accounts for the past three years.

I am fully capable of researching and making an informed decision on what leveraged and inverse funds that I should buy and sell. All funds are risky and I am 100% against regulations that are imposed upon me and that can drastically impact my ability to plan
Comments:I have traded L&I ETFs in the past. My broker's website asked me to first declare intentions for my account that were consistent with L&I products (short term and actively monitored.) I feel this was more than sufficient to dissuade any uninformed investor that didn't know what they were getting into. I don't want to be "protected" from these
FINRA announced today that Derrick Roman, former partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), and Gus Sauter, current member of FINRA’s Investment Committee, have been appointed as public governors on its Board of Governors. In addition, Naureen Hassan, President of UBS Americas and CEO of UBS Holdings, has been appointed as an industry governor to the Floor Member Governor seat.
This is unwarranted, unjustified, and unnecessary. Investors should be able to make their own decisions about what they invest in, and when, and how. Fund family vendors provide all the information necessary about their product(s) to let any investor who TAKES RESPONSIBILITY for THEMSELVES for their actions to understand clearly what they are investing in, and the risks inherent in that
