This notice and action is extremely unamerican and unlawful. You are dictating how a person is able to make an income and by doing so you're in direct violation of the US Constitution as to where you cannot infringe upon a person's ability to make an income. I plan to have my legal counsel file a lawsuit against FINRA, if you take away my ability to trade proshares inverse
I am currently planning my retirement. I use inverse and leverage funds to help build for my retirement. These funds are bought and sold just like stocks and gives people the flexibility to choose how, when, how much etc. to invest based on personal decisions and risk assessment by the individual. Restricting access would be similar to limiting competition and choice. By restricting access, you

Granted, it would be ill-advised for investors to use extensive margin while investing in leveraged ETFs, I still feel existing risks are clearly indicated and should be my choice.
Leveraged funds are an important part of my investment strategy when seeking enhanced

I oppose restrictions to my rights to invest. The game is already stacked against the small investors and these proposed rules will only make it more difficult for us. You are only creating a barrier to entry for individuals to protected the walled garden of the ultra-rich. Leveraged and inverse products give an opportunity to hedge and protect our investments and you are effectively taking away
This is an unconscionable infringement on my rights as a free person and an unwarranted and irresponsible interference in the marketplace. Learning to manage risk is the first lesson learned by an investor. Those techniques are just as effective for 'complex' trades as for 'non-complex' trades. This is an attempt to create a distinction where there is no significant difference
It is Arbitrary and Unworkable: FINRAs definition of complex products is so broad, arbitrary and vague that it could ensnare a vast number of commonly used public securities. It upends Our Regulatory System: Under the long-standing disclosure-based system, investors have the right to decide which public equities, bonds and funds they want to buy. The FINRA plan upends that principle, giving
The system has been corrupted by unethical, greed motivated, vulchers. This is catastrophic. Regulations were written by lobbyists to tip the scale AGAINST the IRA HOLDING retires that have lost pension plans, only to be cheated of real earnings.
