Comments:Please allow an individual to make his or her own choices. The risk I take are mine, and mine alone. I rely on the SEC to keep thing honest, and to make sure people are informed. I have gained a great deal by employing higher risk index funds, and wish to continue. Thanks
Comments: The problem is not the product, it is the breadth of knowledge of the solicitor. FINRA enforcement of the solicitor is more important and a better use of time and resources than restricting use of the product. There is no more complex product than indexed annuities and its numerous moving parts, possibly the most oversold by the most uninformed of all products available to the consumer
Comments: I would like full access to ETFs
I strongly disagree with making it harder to trade complex products, specifically leveraged and inverse funds. If I had to meet similar qualifications and go through much the same processes required for margin and options, then I would be tempted to simply go ahead and sign up for those as well or instead, which would expose me to dramatically higher risks than any ETF. It's quite likely
Comments: The removal or increasing the difficulty to of access to these leveraged funds from small traders would in effect force traders into areas which are also very risky? These leverage and inverse funds give great flexibility to hedge ones positions against a portfolio disaster. Self directing ones funds should be an exercise in risk management not risk taking. Thank you
Comments: Do not change anything!
Comments: We individual but educated investors should still have access to leverage and inverse funds and products because (we) educated investors do understand the risks . I do agree with signing the yearly agreement to trade these products but our access should NOT be taken away. Some of us do NOT want to work until we are 90 years old.
Comments:Dear FINRA, I am over 21 and resent your intrusion into my investing life. I make all my own investment decisions and leveraged ETFs are a big part of my life. Mind your own business. I don't tell you what to do and stay [REDACTED] out of mine! Paul R. Hamilton
Comments: Please do not restrict my access or use of leveraged ETFs. During the 2 years of the pandemic when no one in the family had work, trading leveraged ETFs constituted the main source of income to sustain the family. They may be 'complex products' but the ETF company manages the products, not the investor. As long as the risks are understood and investments are closely monitored
