This is a public investment. It should not be regulated into an opportunity that only a privileged few will have access to. Leveraged ETFs are an important part of my portfolio and I do not want to lose that opportunity.

To Whom it May Concern,
I am totally opposed to the proposed regulations or any part of them that limit my ability as a small private investor to invest in Exchange Traded Funds. You are throwing away my primary ability to make money in the future. I do not understand your desire to regulate my ability to invest when there are many other investments that have equal or more risk. This is devastating to me.

I am a strong believer in regulating the financial industry to prevent cheating. These restrictions to my right to invest seem superfluous and damaging to a free market. Hands off please!

NO ON 22-08!!!!!!!!!

I want to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing.

Keep your Grimy Mitts Off everyones Personal Investments! This is NOT Negotiable!

I will always support my God giving will to choose what I want and to invest in securities I want to choose. Just because I gave my email above, I do not wish to be sent any further information on future communications use the current United States Postal Service. Sincerely and with

Dear FINRA, Thank you in advance for hearing me out. I oppose regulation that would require testing, verification of net worth, broker approvals, paused trading periods, and other burdens that would inhibit my ability to control my investments and financial future. Hedge funds and inverse funds are an important part of my portfolio and allow me to protect my retirement portfolio. Additional requirements would only limit trading and hence potentially the timely purchase and sales of these funds resulting in losses.

Implementation of these laws will exclude many and doesn't provide equal opportunities. This is not helpful in creating an environment to learn or grow .

Any proposal to limit an investors ability to purchase inverse funds would not be well received and obviously ill-timed given market conditions. Every investment contains risk and a regulatory authority should not posses the authority to restrict an investors ability to use products such as these that can actually mitigate risk in one's overall portfolio. If such rules are implemented, where does regulation stop? Will you restrict purchases of stocks with no earnings, junk bond funds, short sales, options?
