I am a small individual investor and would like to continue trading these leveraged products and I fully understand their limitations and dangers. Please do not restrict their use for me and for other investors like me.

5/7/2022 ..Trying to freeze the market at a high - unrealistic price - will only destroy them. Lower prices are a good thing. It allows mostly young people - starting out - to establish a position at a better - more fair/value - price.
Have you noticed that markets go up and down? You should welcome vigorous price discovery.
Short sellers and inverse funds are the only force in the market that in a strong downturn are forced to buy back their positions which supports the market. It is a stabilizing force! Fair/Free markets work!

I have been investing in TQQQ for 5 years now. I use a quarterly rebalancing method that has benefitted from TQQQ's high degree of volatility. When it is high, I sell off a portion. When it is low, I buy more shares with the money set aside in bond funds for this purpose. I understand the risks associated with this product and trade accordingly. I recognize the possibility of losing my investments and only invest money I am able to lose.

Im writing to let you know I oppose this measure. I should be allowed to invest in what I choose. At my own risk.

I am writing to the FINRA to express my concerns about proposed restrictions that would inhibit my ability to freely invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs.

I am an adult and I am able to make trades of my choice.

I dont want to have to endure going through any draconian measures imposed upon me or my family members before buying a leveraged or inverse ETF.

I have traded ETFs of this nature in the past, and I have been successful and unsuccessful.

I am able to live with the consequences of my decisions.

I am greatly opposed to a Regulator taking away my rights to invest in legitimate investments that have been around for years. By interfering with these investments, you will damage investors already invested such as myself. Please stop the governmental seize of our rights and freedoms.

Absolutely ridiculous and offensive to restrict who can invest and who cannot.

My accounts are mine and mine alone. The government should not be meddling in private affairs and accounts.

Use of leveraged ETFs is a small but important part of my investment strategies. These instruments are used at times for both leveraging and hedging. Additional restrictions around the use of these ETFs are not beneficial to the consumer. As an investor I am well aware of how leveraged ETFs work and the increased risk they bring to my portfolio. Additional restrictions about what investment vehicles the retail investor is allowed to and not allowed to investment are not of benefit.

why should you restrict our right and choice to invest as we wish? are you able to guarantee that we always make a profit and never a loss in our investments? if not, what kind of a crazy idea is this??? we don't live in a communist country or dictatorship for god's sake!!!
