Pietro Perrone Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Hello,

I oppose the restrictions to my right to invest. The proper use of leveraged products is a key part of my financial plan. I run a systematic quarterly rebalancing plan that is powered by leveraged ETFs which I have used successfully for several years. These funds are important to me as they improve my performance over the long term. I am not engaged in reckless trading, and I understand the effect of daily magnification of an indexs price movement. I use this magnification to my advantage.

I have utilized Leveraged and Inverse funds successfully for many years. I prefer them because as a self-directed investor, I am able to select funds which reflect an area of interest in small increments rather than invest large sums in non-leveraged funds. In this way I don't risk as much of my own capital--therefore preserving my hard earned capital. During downturns in the market Inverse funds are in place to modulate losses.

I have been investing in leveraged ETFs and leveraged mutual funds for more than 20 years. These securities have been a valuable component of my investment strategy, and I don't think the FINRA should be limiting their use in order to "protect" investors like myself who are knowledgeable about their risks and rewards. I do not want any regulators to limiting my investment choices. I am an adult...treat me and others like me like adults.

I made the choice to invest in leverage ETFs like TQQQ. I fully understand the risk of this type of investment and would like to till have the choice to invest in it for years. Investing in this type of security is in my investment strategy for the long term and would not like for this ability to be removed or have to prove that I am serious about investing in TQQQ. I understand why the regulators are concerned but I believe each investor needs to do their own due diligence and make smart choices that align with their risk tolerance.

Attn: FINRA - I oppose any limitations on my ability to invest in 'complex products'. Stop trying to be my parent. Every time the government sticks its nose into the free market it creates distortions with unintended consequences with results that are worse than anything you were trying to 'fix'. Today's inflation and supply chain disruptions are directly attributable to government 'doing something' that only made life worse for everyone. Take a vacation, quarantine yourself, stay home!
