Do not limit my ability to purchase BITO or XBTF or ETCG or GBTC, etc please. I want to be able to buy any digital asset or crypto asset that are on the market. You don't need to limit my selection. Why I don't need your limitations is because: It Hurts Investors: It denies me the freedom to choose investments that could help me achieve long-term financial security. Is Arbitrary and
This is an absolutely vile proposition, aimed at maintaining the status quo and blatantly trying to stop social mobility. What's even more shocking is that this is not even trying to mask itself as something else, it's just blatant discrimination and abuse of power. It is utterly shameful and completely antithetic to progress and growth. If you are trying to mitigate the chaos
As an individual investor, I should be free to choose which types of risks and investment strategies I want to use. While leveraged ETFs are more risky than some other types of investments, the same is true of regular equities compared to bonds, and options compared to equities, as commodities compared to precious metals compared to crypto currencies, and as a savings account compared to
Regulators should not be able to choose what public investments are right for investors. Its our money not yours.

As a retail investor the main comment I have about our regulatory system relative to the markets is the penalties need to fit the crime. As it stands our penalties are nothing more than a small cost of business, and profits made far exceed the fines. How do you expect to deter illegal behavior if the penalty for committing it is less than a poke in the chest?? Increase the fines to double or even
As an EDUCATED retail investor, I feel the current systems in place are a bit TOO RELAXED for retail investors/traders to access complex products. But an outright ban is also very, VERY WRONG. We may need to raise the barriers somewhat by requiring education AND a simplified form of registration (certifying they understand the risks and perhaps a small registration fee to make the point stick)
Comments: Dear FINRA, I fully understand the composition and risks associated with complex leveraged funds. They are short term in nature and utilize complex derivatives, mostly swaps which may or may not be regulated by public markets. They are an excellent way of maximizing short-term returns when identifying a correct short-term trend in a particular market sector. After voicing concern many
Dear FINRA, Hope the day finds you well. For 15 Years we have been restricted to Index Funds, Commodities, Currencies and Real Estate (Spouse is MD at Investment Banking Firm). The new restrictions Listed under Rule #S7-24-15 are worrisome as we will have even more limitations on where to invest our monies???
