Why do you not include knowledge of technicals in your list of potential requisites? Technicals are universal and are the primary guide to market moves. News and fundamentals are short-lived and correct quickly whereas technicals are the GPS of the marketplace. Indispensable.
Dear FINRA,
Public investments should be available to all of the public NOT just the PRIVILEDGED. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me.
I am very capable of understanding investments and the risk. I shouldn't have to go through any special process of test taking before investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I have done my own research and are very
I oppose big government restrictions to my right and ability to invest in ETFs. I should not be required by big government to take a test or satisfy other unnecessary requirements before I invest. I have been investing in leveraged ETFs for more than 13 years and am extremely happy with my results and my returns. I don't need government to tell me how to invest in leveraged ETFs.
I am a 57 year old investor that has traded / invested in different asset classes including equites, option and futures. I think the leverage / inverse funds are a valuable tool to be used by investors / traders and should continue to be available to the public without restrictions.

This is a ridiculous rule to keep working people poor. Some of us want a chance to be able to grow our wealth to retire early . This is class war. Right now is a very uncertain time and we need to be able to build for ourselves a better future .
Everyone should be able to invest. This is free market capitalism, if we want to keep the benefits of free market capitalism, we must keep it a free market. These proposed rules are discriminatory, and its clear as day.
I do not need to be protected by my government or industry regulatory bodies acting on its behalf from the consequences of my investment decisions. The proposed rules will achieve only a limitation on the available investment options to those of us who have yet to earn our millions, and will make it harder for us to do so by removing higher return asset classes from the available options we can
