Please do not be condescending or ignorant about unnecessary regulations. Leveraged etf's are a safe and effective way to hedge wealth and/or create investment profits. Leveraged and inverse funds are essential to manage down markets and as a mature investor I do not need Finra guidance on what to do with my money. In my view this maybe a play to limit downside momentum in the stock market
Leveraged instruments are important for experienced retail investors to go long the market and hedge in uncertain market conditions. We accept the risk of loss, and do not put more in these instruments than 25% of a portfolio. Still, they also have been some of the greatest generators of wealth when going long after a prolonged bear market. It's unacceptable to take this opportunity away
It is these unfair practices that hamper investors to take advantage of the current market. This is not protection but a means to limit a persons ability to invest freely. We all know the risks associated with leveraged products and non leveraged products. This is just another way to prohibit individuals from getting the maximum out of their investments. We all know the downside when using
Given that our government continues to promote low interest rate environments where elder savers are punished, inverse etfs are an excellent tool to hedge income based stock portfolios. Instead of focusing on singular market events to evaluate etf tracking error, the government should endeavor to actually study long term inverse etf tracking error and counter party risk. Leveraged etfs are
We should have the right to choose what investments best suit our family, not regulators.

Investment rights should be open and on even ground, not made difficult to have to go through special processes to qualify. In an ever changing and quickly evolving global
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged! Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. The leverage and inverse funds protect my investments and enhanced returns and are very improtant parts of my overall portfolio. I have
I believe should be be able to choose my own public investments that are right for me and shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities such as, leveraged and inverse funds. I do not want regulators to have these measures imposed on me since I am capable of understanding the risks of these funds. Leveraged and inverse funds help
I am not a major investor but have some funds that I actively manage which I am hoping to use for my kids college fund. I need the flexibility to decide if I want to be long, short, leveraged or not on my positions. I am not a high new worth individual or professional investor but I understand the risks I take in going short on a position or having a leveraged position. Largely these positions
I OPPOSE restrictions on the right to invest. In particular: All investors not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that fit their circumstances. Public investments need to be available to the public, not just those investors considered acceptable by regulators. Investors should not be vetted by regulators--through the passing of a test or other means--before being allowed
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on you.
