I am outraged that you call Structured Product "complex investments." How can you paint these products with such a broad brush? Frequently companies use futures to hedge against many risks. Why not call their stocks complex investments as well? I believe simply informing clients of the risks, as our firm does with all the investments we sell, should suffice with any risk disclosure. We
I believe FINRA's proposed limits try to address a problem that does not exist. Retail investors should have the freedom to decide what to do with their money and Direxion does a great job with several resources in their website to inform us about the risks of leverage investments.

I have been investing in the stock market since 1993 and fully understand the risks inherent in these types of funds. When used properly to hedge a portfolio they can be very important. I strongly suspect that rules like this one being proposed will end up hurting the
Who [REDACTED] is the government when it comes to an individual who wants to spend his or her money. If a person is able to buy stock they should be able to make their own choices and decisions.

I strongly believe that I as an investor should be able to choose the public investment that are right for me. I should not have to go through any special process or test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I found leveraged and inversed funds are important to protect my investments when stocks went down, I can leverage the loss with inverse funds. When the
