Sharod Smith Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To whom it may concern I am an American, and as an American tax paying citizen of this great country. I am saddened and also frustrated by the actions of Wall Street hedge funds, market makers, brokers and the FINRAS . People such as yourself that are willing stoop to such low levels in order to line their pockets with wealth while taking away from others. Does the word freedom mean anything to you? The stock market is the greatest money making machine in the world. and was made to be free, a free market for any man or woman who chooses to participate.

I cannot express in the strongest of terms that it is my right as an individual investor to have the freedom to analyze macro-economic conditions and make investment choices that protect/grow my capital. This includes the possible need to invest in leveraged and inverse funds if the market conditions call for it with all the individual risks that go with personal ownership of alternative investment strategies.

Dear Financial Representative, I do NOT want trading on the TQQQs and other leveraged funds to be regulated. I believe investors should have the right to trade public investments without restrictions. I am an experienced and frequent trader who uses this avenue exclusively to build weath within a portion of my overall portfolio. The volatility inherent in leveraged funds is the key to success in my trading strategy. I've been relying on this strategy for many years with great results and do not want to be limited in any way.

I am a personal investor and self investing for many years. I am using leveraged funds to increase my returns in a responsible way in times of stocks surge - investing a small amount of my total funds, and hedging the investments to prevent colossal losses.
Leveraged funds already send out learning material and warnings to customers investing in those funds.
Limiting these investments to the only the rich is unfair and unethical. Everyone should be able to access these investment channels. the solution is education, not prevention.

I strongly oppose restrictions to my right to invest in public securities, specifically leveraged and inverse funds. Taking away retail investor rights and limiting access to these funds by imposing special processes or limitations only serves to further widen the gap between wealthy individuals and the average hard-working American public. These funds allow retail investors to hedge investments in times of volatility, and removing this ability only further skews the entire stock market in favor of large institutions such as hedge funds and large pool, non-retail market makers.
