Asa long as investors have access to information they should be allowed to invest in what every type of instrument there is available. I've invested in stocks, options and most disappointing are mutual funds that you think are managed for your benefit but in a market down turn they just hold there positions. What about big time investors who take peoples money invest in companies like
You seem to be planning to go far beyond any legitimate mandate. Your role should be to make sure investors are adequately informed of the risks of leverage . Make the management pepper their ads, reports etc with as many dire warnings as you like, but kindly allow investors to manage their own risk tolerance. Being a watchguard for investors is not the same as being our mommy.

This is my money and I should able to choose my own investments. Inverse and leveraged funds are a strategy to combat the hedge funds and institutional money - both are market manipulators. Try regulating them. And, try regulating Congress - they abuse the system and make investments off inside information but no regulations there. So, let's just regulate the common people, of course.
I believe I should be allowed to make my own informed decisions about investing in any public security. There are ample warnings and notifications in place and to segregate and make one class that is useful in hedging my portfolio harder to access only adds unnecessary and burdensome complications. While it is only a small part of my portfolio,over the past 10 years it is my second best
Dear Regulator: Leveraged and inverse funds are important hedges for me. Thanks to them my capital reached nearly its highest point in ten years.

It is easy to see and understand the possible consequences of leveraged ETF's as well as other funds. I feel the individual is capable of determining what instruments are appropriate for each individual. I feel regulation beyond providing information is unnecessary

Hi, I'm writing to express my opposition to regulations or restrictions that prevent or encumber my ability to invest in public investments. I feel that it should be my right to invest in securities/funds that include new, upcoming, and/or non-traditional commodities (e.g. cryptocurrencies). It should be the investors right to diversify and consider all available options when implementing a
Transparency, accountability and a fair market for all investors. This is what retail investors want. -Frequency in reporting should absolutely be on a daily basis. This should be public information. Not a “pay to play” basis. Companies who profit from hiding this information and selling it, only add to the unfair market advantage faced by retail traders. They will need to adjust their profit
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. I understand FINRA is attempting to create a fairer and transparent market but without strict reporting policies in place you
