I use a 2X leveraged SSO ETF for my core S&P500 holding, which frees up cash so I can trade a few small positions and hold a bit more cash. I also have used a small position in the inverse leveraged TBT bond ETF to temporarily offset my core bond ETF holdings so I don't need to sell them and then buy them back later. None of this is high risk, and taking this away would hurt
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me protect (hedge) your investments and seek enhanced returns.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can
Please don't limit my ability to invest in the funds. I am well aware of the risk as well as the benefits of investing in those type of investments. Limiting the ability to invest is deviation from the open market theory and John Adams the "invisible hand" towards a ore intervening by the Government to manipulate the markets and causing a lot of damage than good in the
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest. Stay out of my business. I am fully capable of making investment decisions without the interference of government bureaucrats who have no idea of my life and what I can an can not do. Americans aren't stupid. Leave us alone to do as we please with our hard earned money. We have no need to pass some test simply to invest in public securities.
To whom it may concern; Enough with the threatened imposed regulations and allow for an individual to make their own financial decisions.

I oppose any restrictions that will prevent me or any individual investor from investing in Public securities such as Inverse funds. Individuals should be allowed complete freedom to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I am fully aware of the potential benefits and risks associated with these investments. They are very critical and essential investment tools in times of distress and volatility
I believe access to these funds should not be limited, but I believe an understanding of the risks associated with their purchase should be affirmed by the purchaser. I am a retired Registered Investment Adviser and use inverse and leveraged products to hedge my personal accounts. This is an inexpensive approach to hedging that does not involve options trading. But I believe the ownership of
I agree that education into the operation and risks of more complex products should become a mandatory prerequisite to invest/trade in them, the other proposed changes are a step too far and I believe not required.
Perhaps a brief synopsis of a product the first time that it is being requested for execution for an account, is forced upon the executor to follow through some required reading. This
I am investing and trading for years now. I have spend plenty of money to learn all of this. I understand the products I use. Putting restrictions on what FINRA thinks are "complex" funds, will limit my ability to manage risk in a way that works for me. I do not need and I do not want the government to tell what I can or can not do with my money.
At the end of the day: if I
I manage a small RIA firm. In one of our strategies, we use a leveraged S&P 500 fund for some of our clients several times a year when our indicators show the market is trending strongly. We have stops in place and usually exit the position after a few weeks. For several years, we have been able to give our clients some extra return with very little added risk. Please do not take
