Hamed Eshraghian Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear FINRA Regulators,

I 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. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.

Dear FINRA,

I oppose restrictions on my rights to invest in public investments. As an investor I should have variety in choices of investments and not be limited by regulators or have to pass a test to be able to invest in a security. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and have been trading them since last year. Again, the leveraged and inverse funds help diversify my portfolio. Please consider freedom of choice. This is what makes America great!

Dear Regulators, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposed regulation. We didn’t choose unprecedented debt or rising inflation. It’s a matter of human rights to allow individuals to choose their positions in the market with intelligence, education, and any capital that could offset the problems that have been created for us. We are trading with depreciating dollars that have already been taxed. Creating regulations in line with a “my dollar, my choice” philosophy feels fair and ethical under the circumstances.

I have a reasonable networth and enough understanding of markets to know that occasionally someone may want to hedge their portforlios or part of it due to the volatility we see often in this world. By restricting the use of inverse funds and ETF's, you might actually cause many investors to lose more money because their ability to have alternative investments are not available. I do believe FINRA wants to help protect investors but in fact may be doing quite the opposite. I am strongly opposed to your making it more difficult to use these investments.
