Manikantan Velappan Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear Sir/Madam, I work as an R&D Engineer, and consider myself a middle class American. I frequently invest in ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ ETF, symbol SQQQ, and ProShares UltraPro QQQ, symbol TQQQ. These funds give me great flexibility in meeting my long term investment goals. I am well informed of exactly what these funds offer, and am able to incorporate them into my investment strategy. So far, they have benefited me greatly. Any measures to put restrictions on trading them will create great inconvenience for me and will be counter productive to retail investors like me.

Leave our access to the option market alone. Risk management is best handle when the risks are sometimes learned through trial and error. The best investors do not start off perfectly. Most become good to great in options as investor risk mangers when the heat is on and risk aversion is realized through that seat of the pants experience. This experience can only come to those that get back up after being knocked down by the market. My risk are my growth into a mature human being. I request FINRA back away from this decision and watch what Americans can really do while growing up.

I oppose restrictions on my rights to invest. Sometimes something that sounds like it will protect people, may do the exact opposite of what's intended. I believe in a correctly regulated and open market and invest strategies that benefit people. This is not a correctly regulated step and will hurt my ability to make choices about the investments that I would like to make. I am also free to not invest in things I don't want to. To make regulation on these specific types of investments will limit my choices and freedoms I expect regulators to protect, not damage.

Dear FINRA, I am dismayed to hear of your plans to impose restrictions on the types of public investments that I can invest in. I am an adult and you are not my parents. I am capable of making my own decisions about what I buy and understanding what I buy. Even if I weren't, it is still wrong for regulators to try and decide who is able to participate and who is not. I urge you to reconsider these possible actions and let the public make their own choices.
