Attention FINRA. I have been licensed in the business for more than a decade. I saw the collapse of the financial markets first-hand in 2007 to 2009 and none of it was due to retail investors breaking laws or taking risks. It was the institutions.

This is a classist way to block the average American from a space that offers them opportunities, in a sick effort to keep the wealthy wealthy and the poor, poor. How disgusting.

I am concerned about potential regulations that would limit access to leveraged and inverse funds especially for small investors. I find these funds useful to hedge my portfolio while preserving cash. They are a useful risk management instrument when used appropriately. Rather than place burdensome restrictions on investors, FINRA might consider requiring more transparency from companies issuing such funds including more information on the fund returns compared to the unleveraged index over various time periods and tracking errors.

Average people should be allowed to invest to earn additional money or grow their wealth. Changing these rules further divides those who have and those who do not.

This will lock people out of being able to make a better future for themselves and achieving the American Dream, this will substantially hurt the economy and make getting ahead even more difficult

I am a young investor and do not want my future opportunities to be stifled by those who seek to benefit from preventing young people from creating generational wealth.

I oppose FINRA Notice 22-08. I, as an investor, reject FINRA's regulations that infringe on my right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions.

Public investments are public.

It's insulting that you would limit what we can freely trade. You'll happily tax on profits, and everyone understands the downsides to investments. This arbitrary limitation is simply another tool for you to exert power, create more onerous regulations and limit the free exercise and potential profit of regular investors.

While Investments can be risky, it is important for people to have the option to invest their money in any public funds of their choice. I do not see why limiting access is appropriate unless there is a nefarious motive.
