The American dream is a reason why many people come to the United States. There are different ways to reach that goal. Some work hard as a laborers and others go to school. But due to the issues of inflation people need to invest into the stock market to make sure they have that competitive edge. These different types of ETFs give them that opportunity without have to sacrifice time at their day
Dear FINRA Staff, It seems to me that Citadel (including some of its subsidiaries) is taking advantage of its status as a market maker and at the same time as a hedge fund with exceptionally high short interest in AMC (and also in Gamestop). Based on the data available through fintel.io, Ortex and other sources, it seems they are manipulating prices in their favor. For me, the assumption is close
I wish to express my opposition to FINRA's proposed regulations from purchasing securities designated as complex products such as those on cryptocurrency. I do not own any cryptocurrency but I do own leveraged stocks and ETF's and other securities which may be classified as complex products. As a knowledgeable investor, I am qualified to assess the risk of securities I
I believe that I do and I should continue to have the right to invest my own money as I see fit as a means to obtain my goal of long term financial security. Furthermore, what one may deem as "complex product" may seem a simple investment or investment strategy to someone else... you have no responsibility to make a decision as to the complexity of an investment on my behalf!

I believe that each individual should take the time to understand and then accept the risks of the instruments they use to invest or they should not be using these instruments.
In my opinion, I support the right of individuals to use leveraged ETFs and other alternative financial instruments as a part of their investment strategy. I do not support the government limiting the individual's
It does not make sense to limit leveraged investments as long as I can get a mortgage for 20% or less down payment in an asset which can lose 50% in the matter of months during a recession. How can that be safer than using leveraged and inverse investments? I'll tell you that it's not, in fact is significantly less safer. What harm is it to limit inverse investments when
Dear Regulators, I have been invested in leverage and inverted ETF funds as part of my personal and IRA investment account portfolio over the last fifteen years. I found them extremely helpful to be able to invest in a specific market sector to diversify or as a hedge to my position. It can avoid some of the risk of picking a wrong stock. Please do not limit the investors' choice of
The restrictions on buying leverage ETFs shouldn't be any more stringent than what it takes to purchase a gun in this country. You can't lose any more money in these types of investments than you can with a risky individual stock. And with leveraged ETFs, they at least offer a level of diversification depending on which one you are investing. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to
I find it troubling that you are considering making unreasonable restrictions on my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, for several reasons. I should be able to make my own decisions without your blessings, you know nothing about me. Also this will severely hamper my ability to be successful with stock investing. I don't think anyone is more concerned about my financial
I am an investor who trades with New York Stock Exchange shares. In order for markets to truly be free and fair, there needs to be a level playing field for all entities involved. This is agnostic of the risks involved. Deviating from that impacts trust as it can be interpreted that retail investors have different rules from other investor entities. I do not support this rule as it's
