I am an individual investor who essentially manages my own portfolio. I use individual stocks, mutual funds, ETFs and KNOW THAT IT IS MY OWN RESPONSIBILITY to do my OWN homework and KNOW my investment choices including the risks and potential rewards. I also use leveraged ETFs where I CONSIDER APPROPIATE and DO NOT WANT ANY ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS AND EXTRA STEPS IN THE BUYING AND SELLING PROCESS
Dear FINRA:
I am very much opposed to restrictions on my right to invest. This is a great overreach making public investments available only to the privileged few and puts the small investor at a great disadvantage.
I am at the stage in life where I am longer able to work outside the home and plan to use investing to support myself in my later years.
Recently, I have learned how to use inverse
After investing for a little over 10 years, my most successful years are when I started investing in leveraged ETFs. Eliminating the leveraged ETFs from the choices of investment vehicles is the wrong decision. Yes, leveraged ETFs are volatile, but so are individual securities, mutual funds, and options. I understand the volatility when I invest in them and assume the risk myself. Investing in
I am a very average investor and have been using leveraged and inverse ETFs to enhance returns for over a decade.
I don't want to have to go through training or pass a test in order to trade these funds and find it insulting that FINRA thinks so little of the general public that we're incapable of understanding the benefits and risks of leveraged and inverse ETFs.

This is a disgusting overreach by the government.
Retail investors and retail traders should be allowed to invest and trade in whichever financial products that are available to them.

We have the capacity to engage in this and should be allowed to take risks as we see fit, and
America is a country who always advocated equal rights. I should get right to invest my money the way I want. Stocks are also risky when big companies like BABA, NetFlix ets drop more than 70% from their all time high. People can loose the money when they trade Options of stocks.

To whom it concerns at the FINRA. I have heard that y'all are considering adding regulations to leverage and inverse funds.
