Comments: Hello: I have used leveraged ETFs in my account for many years. It is a small portion of my total investment account. It has been by far the most profitable area for me for many years. Please do not regulate and add new rules forthe use of leveraged ETFS. Thank you. Chris Vig
I have a constitutional right to invest my assets as I see fit as long as I am not mentally incapacitated as declared by a court of law. Has FINRA ever heard of the Bill Of Rights??
Let it be known that we will legally challenge any rule that violates these rights and enjoy the dollar damages assesed by a court of law when we prevail!!
NASD has filed with the SEC a proposed rule change to the By-Laws of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD" or "Association") to address several corporate governance issues, including the treatment of staff Governors for purposes of Industry/Non-Industry balancing; the role of the National Nominating Committee (NNC) in contested elections; the petition
I do not support these changes. I should not need approval from my bank to make an investment. These rules are ridiculous! I consult with a financial advisor from a well known institution. These investment tools are risky, but I feel they are unique and productive. They are made up of reputable companies. Regulators should be more concerned about crypto. A real pyramid system.
Reducing the pool of potential investors does not sound to me like a plan to make investing easier or better. These restrictions also don't seem like steps to make the markets more efficient - the proposed rule sounds like a way to make the markets way less efficient. Anyone should be able to buy - or to sell - these holdings.
I am very much against restrictions proposed in this regulatory notice. While the risk of financial loss when investing in these products is high, so is the opportunity for significant profits. Government should not control how I invest my money or make me run through multiple hoops to invest. Please do not implement the proposed rules.

Comments:Why do you propose new rules when these are just fine? They give access to profits, previously only available in much higher risk commodity futures trading. Do you propose to limit that too? The risk and rewards are made abundantly clear, as they are stated in the prospectus. Just leave well enough alone. Ty.
