Inverse funds allow me to hedge my portfolio against a market downturn. It is almost like having insurance for your car. Nobody wants to be in a auto accident, but it is nice to know that you are insured in case you are. I did not have to pass any special test before getting my auto insurance policy. I have the right choose my investments!

I believe more regulations on investment choices are not good for a true free market. If something is risky, then education should be the tool, not government regulations. Leveraged investments are part of the entire investment family. It has its position as kind of choices offered to the experienced investors.

I oppose putting limitations on complex products. This gives us the investors the ability to diversify when markets are week and strong. This would be a big detriment to the trading and investing community.

Leveraged and inverse ETFs are critical for my investment strategy. I rely on the freedom offered by US markets in these products to realize my goals because of enhanced returns. I don't believe I should have to go through a very restricted selection process to be able to access these products. Please please keep the ETF markets open!

Oppose limitations on ability to buy the BITO funds

Everyone should have the opportunity to invest in any type of investment they wish. Neither the government nor FINRA should prohibit them from doing so.

Stop taking our rights away!!!

I have been trading leveraged and inverse funds for some time now and should remain to be allowed to do so without further qualification. I am aware of the risk involved and, as a responsible investor, should not be subject to special tests or requirements to trade in these vehicles other than being aware of the risks involved. I do not think my access should be limited from any particular segment of the marketplace. These are important vehicles that have allowed me to hedge my account and, at times, seek better returns.

Regarding the proposed FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08, I strenuously object to ANY legislation restricting ANY investment I choose to make. I have my own best interests at heart -- regulators only want power and could care less whether I have access to the investments I need for my own personal financial security. It is appalling how patronizing, paternalistic, meddlesome, and tyrannical regulators are becoming. I am perfectly able to understand leveraged and inverse fund risks, and these investments are crucial to my ability to hedge my portfolio.

I make my own decisions - not you! I've been investing for years and should still be able to control what I invest in.
