FINRA Releases Report Highlighting Helpline’s Efforts and Other FINRA Initiatives to Protect Seniors
WASHINGTON — FINRA today released a new report illustrating the FINRA Securities Helpline for Seniors’ efforts to provide support, resources and education to senior investors over the last five years. The report also provides insight into FINRA’s ongoing work to protect senior investors beyond
I have been informed that you intend on restricting, impairing or preventing my ability to purchase and sell proshares inverse ETF funds such as QID. I am currently using them as a hedge against adverse market conditions. As, regulators I do not believe you should restrict my rights to invest or hedge my current portfolio. If you do so, you will financially damage my assets in a down market.
As an informed and educated professional, I should have the right to invest in whatever funds I please. Leveraged ETFS in particular do not pose a risk to my personal financial freedom or wealth. As someone who has read the prospectus of UPRO, TQQQ and TMF, I feel that it is my right as an American to express myself freely supporting these leveraged funds. I know the risks that come with these
I like having the ability to invest in leveraged funds. I do not want this option taken away, or limited by some gate-keeper that gets to decide what I do with my money.

As an investor, I am opposed to the additional regulations proposed in Regulatory Notice 22-08 restricting access to certain complex products.
There are sufficient requirements to provide information on the behavior of these investments and more than enough regulation on broker dealers to supervise the purchase and trading of these instruments.
We cannot regulate our way to more intelligent
Comments: I BELIEVE ALL INVESTORS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO LEVERAGED AND INVERSE ETFS. ALL INFORMATION WHICH HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO ME ABOUT THESE PRODUCTS OVER THE YEARS HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR IN DESCRIBING THE PRODUCTS AND THEIR RISKS. I HAVE RUN THE NUMBERS MANY TIMES USING HISTORICAL DATA AND FIND THAT LEVERAGED PRODUCTS CAN BE HELPFUL AND SOUND INVESTMENTS. TO DISALLOW THE PRODUCTS OR INTRODUCE
Could someone please inform FINRA that the US is well into the throws of a total societal/financial collapse, as is most of the rest of the planet. Adding layers of burdensome regulation and limiting the public' in which publicly traded securities they may or may not use for speculation, hedging or investment purposes is equivalent to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic after it
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged or those whom regulators arbitrarily deem worthy. I shouldn't have to go through any wasteful and inefficient bureaucratic process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. The risks of leveraged and inverse
