Jeffrey Wojtkowski Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.

As a retail investor and trader, I protest FINRA's consideration to either limit of remove the option of purchasing leveraged and inverse ETFs. This action limits opportunities for retail traders and investors to use these instruments for hedging purposes. Since this is my money at risk and not the general public's I feel I have the understanding and competency in choosing where I wish to place my money for investing purposes. Retail investments and trading activities do not create systemic risk unlike the mega institutions.

Leverage and inverse ETFs should be available to all of us. We as individuals assume all the risk for our investing/trading and should be able to buy and sell these items as we wish.
I use inverse etfs to hedge positions and also gain when the market is heading to the downside. I use leverage etf on a short term basis to boost my returns. I study charts, use technical analysis and the leverage etfs are critical to my edge.
