Whether or not I am investing at this time is inconsequential. What is important is my rights under the constitution. You have no right to violate my constitutional rights. To insult my intelligence, is unexceptable. To limit my rights to protect myself and/or my family's livelyhood with financial security is unforgivable and a violation of my rights. We do not live in a society where
As a retail investor, who has been actively trading in the last 2 years and these regulations are very much targeted at, I do not agree with the proposed rule/guidance changes. FINRA has already placed many barriers to retail investors in the form of PDT rules, $25k capital requirements, etc. At no point in my journey as a new trader have I felt that the restrictions benefitted me or protected me
This regulation doesn't help me as a consumer or investor. It hurts me. It takes away my options and my ability to decide what is right for me and my finances.

Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. We both enjoy the complexities of the stock market and the option to invest in what we see fit. Please do not limit those of us who have fought for this country (I am a Veteran) and too often do I
I have several of the funds and investment vehicles you are talking about regulating in my portfolio. As an average citizen, I am completely capable of researching and understanding risks and rewards of different investment products. I do not appreciate being called unworthy of investing in these products. Wall Street is already rigged toward the privileged and wealthy. These types of funds are
I am disappointed in the possible restrictions that Rule #S7-24-15 would impose upon myself and other retail investors. Both leveraged and inverse funds, while not my sole investment, do hold an important place in my overall investment strategy. I have put time and effort into researching and selecting the funds I currently hold in my investment portfolio. This includes back-testing and comparing
I believe leveraged and inverse funds play an important role and provide a desired product in the marketplace. I rely on these funds to enhance my returns in a diversified manner.
