I should not be regulated on what stocks I can buy. I shouldnt have go threw any special process to invest in leveraged funds or inverse funds. I do not need these measures imposed on me. They are an important part of my portfolio as a hedge and to enhance returns. Public investments are right for me and my family. Investments should not be available for the just privileged but all of the people. We the people should not be regulated

FINRA's role is supposed to be to protect the public from unscrupulous brokerage firms and investment advisors. It's NOT supposed to be about treating the public as if they are children and need to have their hand's held while you tell us what we can and cannot do. I've been investing for over 30 years but just discovered leveraged ETFs, such as SPXL/SPXS and TQQQ/SQQQ in March of 2020.

WHAT I DO WITH MY MONEY IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. I earned it and have paid taxes on it. If I want to invest it, I should be able too. If I lose said money, I understood that when I made the investment and it falls on my shoulders. Im tired of government stepping in and trying to control what I do, say, and any thing else involving my life. The US Govt makes millions off of me and every other American and spend it like a fat kid eats candy. Im going to probably have to work until Im 70 because you have ruined Social Security by spending it inappropriately, when it wasnt yours to spend.

Leveraged and inverse ETFs and funds are not fundamentally different than other investment choices, all of which carry risk.

For many of us these ETFs form an important part of our overall investing strategy. We, not the regulators, should have the freedom and attendent responsibility to select and use these instruments. There should be no need to pass a test or have other restrictions imposed.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your 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 and am sure many others are as well, of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. We do not need these measures imposed on us.

Hello, In regards to the Regulatory Notice issued by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on March 8, 2022, I would like to express my concern as to the potential limits this rule will impose on some investors for buying and selling of the leveraged and inverse funds or other products deemed to be complex in nature. I regularly use these products as a focal point of my trading strategy. They increase the Sharpe ratio of my portfolio and provide me with an acceptable level of return.

This freedom needs to be available to all investors not just the rich which is typical of the left to only help the rich and hurt the middle class. Inverse funds are a good way to protect the lower income investor and his or her rights as well.

I do not support the new regulations.

If FINRA limits access to levered ETFs, they are only hurting the retail investors. Levered ETFs allow investors the ability to achieve better long-run performance for their retirement portfolios. On average, the market return is about 10% since WW2. Levered ETFs allow investors the ability to easily lever these positive expected returns and grow their portfolio without the risk of margin requirements found elsewhere like futures. Obviously there is risk in investing, and the market may decline in some years. Investors should be allowed to decide if they want to have this risk exposure.

I already understand the risks of leveraged investing. I use leveraged funds as a small part of my portfolio (less than 10%). They do not pose a danger to my finances. I oppose any additional regulations put on the public when investing in leveraged funds.
