I am against more nanny state regulations. We as individuals need to be able to make our own decisions.
People with high net worth are also incapable of making financial decisions, they just got lucky.
If this investment is inappropriate for individual investors such as myself, then why is it even an option? Just remove it for all investors.

I am very disappointed how financial regulators are trying to take away power of individual investors to freely invest in public ETFs - leveraged or inversed - which are listed in the public market because they were approved by financial institutions. Yet, the same financial regulators do not place any restrictions on investing "professionals" who short the market or individual
To: FINRA Regulators, Kind Regards. I have been trading ETNs, leveraged securities, futures, puts and calls etc. since 1985. I understand the works and functions of these somewhat complex trading methods. I started with about $10,000.00 and now have multiple trading accounts approximately in excess of $2,000,000.00 I respectfully request that you do not take away my rights to buy and sell listed
Leveraged ETFs, including inverse funds are an important tool to everyday retail investors to hedge their assets and to increase their chances for successful investing and trading.

PLEASE do not restrict access to leveraged ETFs. I can take responsibility, as all adults should - and we do not need anyone to restrict our ability to choose investments that match our risk/reward profile. All stocks require knowing their risks before investing, and leveraged funds should be treated no different just because they might be more risky. Leveraged funds are an integral part of my
Hi FINRA Regulator, I am a retail investor and 90% of the time, I buy stocks and broad market ETFs. However, in some occasions such as March 2020 and Now, I have used some of these complex structure funds to hedge my positions before during market volatitle. Although, I am not a big fan of Leveraged ETF or any complex ETF funds, I still don't like the idea of restricting them to general
Limiting the options for individuals to invest in public investments, which any sort of investment, whether its a security, ETF, CD, stock, fund, note, trust, etc, whether its complex, or not is not justified. Simple investments would still have a risk, irregardless of banning and limiting certain individuals to be involved in any sort of investments.
Any sort of investment, simple, or complex
Please don't add additional burdens on investors to invest in products like inverse or leveraged funds. I use these in my own investment strategies and are excellent choices. It removes the need for trading on margin which is important for IRAs. These choices should be available for all investors, not just wealthy people or the so called sophisticated investor.

I do not need a regulator to tell me when and how I can invest in leveraged or inverse funds. They are easy products to understand and much less complicated than options.
