Rules “enhancements” means more rules. My broker make it very clear this was a very high risk investment. I was required to sign approximately 4 different documents that I had never had to sign before in 35 years of investing. I know exactly what I own and don’t need extra protections.
I believe myself and other retail investors should have the ability to utilize "complex" investment products. The risk factors involved are clearly communicated by the prospectus and even by the disclosures from the brokerage prior to investing. The ability to utilize these funds is instrumental in optimizing out portfolios to meet our investing goals.
Hello, Please do not make it more difficult for smaller retail investors to use their hard earned money how we wish. We know the risks associated with investing in the funds that you are targeting. Retail should have equal opportunities as those with more money behind them.
It's absolutely absurd to consider inverse or leveraged funds as "complex products". The absolute maximum restrictions that should be similar to having to apply for options approval. Every broker I have used to invest in these types of funds does an excellent job explaining the risks. Imposing regulations would over-complicate it.
I utilize the type of investments I utilize. I am cognizant of risks that are inherent in trading leveraged and inverse funds. They are tools that I use when I choose. At times I use to hedge, and other times to incandescent my portfolio. I oppose any restrictions in my investment portfolio. I do not wish to lose this ability
I am writing to oppose restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I use such funds as protection for my portfolio. I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that serve my investment intentions. There is plenty of opportunity for individual investors to gain understanding of individual investments and their risks.
You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. We are perfectly capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Don't limit our free options.

Comments: I like trading leveraged and inverse ETFs and don't want additional limits placed on the investors. I understand the risks and believe that additional limits on these investments will only hurt the small investor while big Wall Street firms can do what they want. It is important for FINRA not to hurt the small investor.
I should have the right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds in order to hedge and reduce the volatility of my existing portfolios. I totally understand the risks associated with these investments and size the positions appropriately. These type of hedges should be available to all investors, large or small. Please protect our individual rights.
