Richard Stuart Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
I oppose the limitations on my ability to buy leveraged or inverse funds. Get out of my life! Quit trying to control me. Big government is bad for everyone, especially Biden's Socialist government.

Please stop trying to control people or tell them what to do or not to. We are mature adults who know what they are doing. Life drinking and gambling, if its legal, you should not stop people from doing it.
Comments: I am a small, (60K portfolio) non-commercial investor, approaching retirement, and I believe FINRA's attempts to require enhancements to current rules on Leveraged and Inverse ETFs (L&I Funds) unnecessarily limits investor choice. Such ETFs are an essential part of my portfolio. FINRA adoption of a more restrictive stance on non-commercial investors ability to buy these ETFs would damage my ability to secure adequate funds for my retirement. I am well aware of the risks of such ETFs.
I am a disabled/ Retired Law Enforcement Officer. The fact stable coin yeilds are being taken away slowly WILL result in me going bankrupt and having to move away from my children.
The policies are ruining lives
I do not do my own investing but have help from my Advisor. I do not want his investments to be limited. I ask that you do not limit our ability to invest in investment instruments at any time.
Let everyone invest
I opposed these restrictions! Everyone one should have the right to choose any public investment they feel is right for them and assume the risk. Limiting the right to invest to only certain groups of people is wrong and creates an unfair advantage! Public investments should be available to ALL of the public, not just the privilege. This is unethical!!
you make sure BD are well regulated to provide adequate information to investors. Do you assume they are not doing their job? If it is a current public investment already okayed by you why shouldnt the regular public have the right to buy it? whether it is for leverage or protection. If we end up with only passive investments there will be no market in the true sense of the word and will just become a sandbox for elite and rich people to play. The market is one of the few places the playing field is relatively equal.
I own ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury as a means of offsetting losses in my bonds as interest rates rise. If I couldn't own TBT, I would have to sell the bonds. This would not be in my best interests.
I only have one issue. If it's 'PUBLIC' stock then I should be able to buy - isn't that what public is? That's all: PUBLIC = PUBLIC // PUBLIC = PRIVATE- make up your mind regulatory - thx for reading.
