FINRA Requests Comments on Proposed Consolidated FINRA Rules Governing Securities Loans and Borrowings, Permissible Use of Customers' Securities and Callable Securities
If retail investors are not allowed to buy leveraged ETF's, then the same should apply to institutional investors. The playing field is so distorted to favor wall street firms, bankers, and institutional investors, that it is a gamling casino not an Investment arena, and the problems caused by institutional investors have wreaked generational problems on the American economy, at the unfair
I want to be able to choose what investments are right for me. I want these funds to be available to me to choose from. I'm capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. These funds are an important part of my investment strategy. They help me protect my investments some times and some times give me better returns and use these as certain part of my investment mix. I
You are not regulators. I should be able to chose my own style of investment. It should be available to all of the public. I should not have to go through any examination or testing before I can invest into public securities. I understand leverage and invest funds and their risks. Leveraged and inverse funds are extremely important for my investment strategy. These securities help me to protect
I believe that I - and not regulators with potential agendas should have the right to choose the public investments right for me -- and these shouldn't be restricted to just the privileged.

They can assess the level of risk they are willing to take on any particular investment. What data do you have that shows any significant number of investors that have been harmed by simple access to these products? Fraud must be prosecuted when it is found to exist

I should be able to choose (without restriction) which investments are right for me, not just the privileged financial class. I shouldn't have to go through some special process or pass a test before having access to any public securities including, but not limited to: inverse funds, leveraged
This new purposed Rule is very concerning and cause's more harm than good, It is not the job of Regulator's to decide what individuals can purchase.The autonomy of what an individual buys with their own money, that should be in there hands, only their Hands. allowing individual investors to utilize these tool, provides access to more affordable professional strategy's! THIS IS OVER
I strongly oppose this arbitrary regulation that arbitrarily singles out leveraged and inverse etfs to high net worth individuals. This is clearly a case where regulators are falling prey to political pressure to "protect" investors. These funds are incredibly useful in instances where trading futures is not available. In addition, the risks inherent to inverse and leveraged funds are
