FINRA's goals include prevention of monetary malfeasance and instability through regulations. These new proposals are reactions to the new young investors enabled by platforms like Robinhood that annoyed story larger firms. These new regulations are oppressive reactions to annoyances and not damages. Protect the freedom to invest.

We deserved the freedom to use our own brain and mind to pickup the investments we want purchase. The tings your guys planning to do is similar to the scandal Robinhood did during the GME and AMC trade, please stop to do it if you still want to hold credibility for FINRA.
While you might feel it is in the best interest to block several of these investments. I do disagree with banning. If there are smaller hurdles fine but most people need to take responsibility for his/her investment actions. Truthfully, you missed the boat with a company like Robinhood which essentially turned investing into a casino. Mark
Pro shares are the only way to amplify gains for young investors who dont have options permissions. Without them young investors like myself will have to switch to a platform like Robinhood to amplify gains while not being told Im too young to invest in leveraged stocks or options.
I support transparency in short reporting process and accountability. In cases such as the Robinhood stopping trade on AMC have created a distrust for the market and weaken the economy for all. Making data available in a single place will help restore some of the trust lost into the institution and improve confidence in our economy as whole.
How about proactively tracking and eliminating naked shorting practices? Naked shorting is illegal but it's certainly not stopping hedge funds from doing it. The benefits of bankrupting a company are obvious and known. Give us a level playing field and be the Robinhood we need. We had enough with the oppression!
I use several brokerage providers. TD Ameritrade, M1 finance, and Robinhood all already provide bold warnings and specific information to guide/educate investors regarding Triple Leveraged or Inverse ETFs.
Brokerages have already/currently provide the critical information for retail investors to make effective trading decisions with these investment vehicles.
I strongly opposed limiting retail
Please do not take away my ability to purchase leverage and inverse funds. I have many of these and have invested in them for many years. They have helped me protect my retirement investments. If you can allow all of these young kids to invest in Meme stocks via Robinhood, then why in the world would you restrict us old folks from investing in whatever we want?
I find the fact that regulators have decided to not only limit my (and most peoples) access to the funds that we wish to invest our savings in, but the fact that regulators believe that THEY can limit when and how we do trade, much like the Robinhood fiasco. I oppose this useless regulation when time and government effort could be better spent regulating the markets, brokers, and the corporations
The type of products able to be traded by retail shouldn’t be limited. Disclosures on inverse and leveraged funds are ok, but restrictions on trading will make markets less fair as hedge funds and banks would still be able to trade the products.
The same goes for options. I went out and spent the time and effort to understand various complex options strategies. I should not be punished for the
