I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST

I am enough capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I don't need these measures imposed on me.
Thanks

Public investments, including leveraged or inversed funds should be made available to all individual investors. Individual investors like myself are perfectly capable of choosing our own investments, carefully considering risks. We should not have to have regulations imposed on us. Thank you for your consideration.

I object to further limitations on these funds..

As a financial advisor, I oppose restrictions on the ability to grow and protect client assets.

Studies show that investors hate losing money three times more than they enjoy making it.

Taking away my ability to hedge client portfolios means my clients will suffer... and their suffering is leveraged 3x!

Please don't take away this important tool in our tool box.

I think I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I do my own vetting, my own research. I'm very careful to diversify my investments. I don't invest more than I can afford to lose. The riskier the venture, the less money I invest. But I want to make these choices myself; please don't restrict me!

I completely disagree with the new regulation. I reality most publicly traded stock investments are leveraged because the companies you invested in have debt on their balance sheets. The stock a person buys is in a subordinate position to the debt. This debt helps to boost yield. Just like a leveraged fund helps an investor increase yield. If Inverse funds are eliminated then the ability to short a stock should be eliminated as well. Again you are doing the same thing; however, with an inverse your loses are limited. A short can lead to unlimited losses.

To whom it may concern, Id like to make my voice heard regarding notice #22-08. Ive been investing for something like 25 years and started using leveraged ETFs since before the " great recession " of 2008, using them with regards to the major indexes. In that time I have never had a problem and the ETFs I used did exactly what they were advertised to do in both up and down markets.

Iam truly opposed by these proposed limitations and ridiculous tests/qualifications.
It is my free right to invest in any funds that I can obtain and afford.

FiNRA.....

Do away with this proposal.. Represent and promote financial freedom. Thank you!!!

Leveraged ETFs are among the safest and least complex ways for a small personal investor to hedge and/or take on more risk; other options, such as investing in particular individual stocks to micromanage the risk in your positions is much more error prone for the average small investor in comparison.

Over the last couple of years, leveraged and inverse ETF became a trendmedously useful tool for hedging my overall investment portfolio. There are times where I just cannot send my core holdings, and inverse ETFs became a very useful tool for hedging, especially in IRA accounts. It is far easier to use and safer than Shorts and Options.

Without these inverse and leveraged ETFs, you will be forcing a great number of non-pros into shorting and option trading, which is far risker and more difficult to manage.

Thanks for your consideration.
