My concern is how this rule would affect leveraged and inverse leveraged fund (TQQQ, SPXL, SH, etc.) - These fund allow me to obtain a desired exposure with a smaller capital commitment, freeing this capital for retirment expenses withdrawal without the need to sell anything. - These funds allow me to hedge existing positions in a simple, understandable way. - My brokerages do an excellent job
Please do not limit the ability for investors to choose their own path by using leveraged and inverse ETFs. It is one of the few ways that retail investors can easily and cost effectively access these strategies. It should be up to individual responsibility to learn about these investments instead of the government controlling the market.
Comments: I am not confused on these inverse and leveraged products. I know how they work and like trading them without having to worry about the risks about losing more on margin. It allows better participation from retail traders who are educated on the risks and rewards of these products.
No enhancements to current rules are required.

Comments: FINRA should stop trying to prop up the stock market and keep its nose out of retail trading. They are just trying to prop up what will be a dying stock market to protect all of the institutional investors. I urge them to back off and make no further changes to freedoms in the market. Let the market be open and free with no further interference.
I urgently oppose this rule that would severely limit my investment options.
