I believe 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. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I
In today's investing landscape, it's important that regular people have access to leveraged and inverse funds. As the market is falling, the only saving grace to my portfolio has been leveraged and inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. If I so choose to buy them regardless, that is my choice and my right. I don't need
You regulate everything, yet I watch the well connected get away with all sorts of corruption. How about enforce existing laws and stop making new ones. If the government and the people running it are so smart, the country would not be $30 trillion in debt. I am much better at making decisions for myself than a bunch of bureaucrats that have not shown they can run anything. Leveraged and inverse

I have been investing in leveraged and inversed funds, as one of my strategies, for over twenty years and have a very good understanding of my investments. Now, with your proposed rule, you are taking away my freedom to select how I invest in a well respected investment selection. If you want to control, which you seem to want to do, go after crypto, because it is going to cost investors big time
I strongly oppose the proposed FINRA regulation that would restrict my ability to easily invest in public securities that FINRA deems "complex products" such as leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding the risk issues related to these investments and I don't need any nanny state to "protect" me from making bad choices. I use such investments, which are a
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective
