I am very concerned that you are thinking of taking away import investing funds from the general public like leveraged and inverse funds. These are important investing products that all investors should have access to trade not just privileged investors. Stop trying to limit what is available to me as an investor. These leveraged and inverse funds are very important to me and many retail investors and our investing strategy.

I should be able to make my own investments and use my own brain. I do not want any Regulators or Bureaucrats supposidely protecting me or watching over my welfare! I will choose my own public investments!

I oppose your attempt to restrict my ability to invest in any way I choose. I am aware of the risks and have the ability to make my own decisions.

May 6 Revised submission: First let me say that I am a Roosevelt supporter (Teddy and FDR), not anti-government. I have traded ProFunds, which offer shorts and leverage, for about ten years. ProFunds is my favorite fund family. I do not care about leverage, but I do care about being able to short (inverse funds). I do not have an advisor or broker, and I never have or will. Common knowledge is that advisors underperform markets by the amount of their fees.

I oppose the possibility of restrictions being placed on my rights to invest in public investment vehicles. I should be able to choose what investments are right for me. Investments should be available to everyone not just who regulators deem worthy. I use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge positions and they are an important part of my strategies. There shouldnt be any kind of special education or test people have to go through to invest in public investment vehicles. When investing in these funds the broker general makes you accept a page anyway verifying you understand the risks.

DO NOT APPROVE FINRA PROPOSED RULE #22-08

The free market not government regulation should govern purchase and holding of crypto currency.

I oppose the restrictions you are considering for leveraged and
inverse funds. If I were investing someone else's money it might make sense. Other wise you are only restricting average investors ability to make their own choices.
Thank you

Let me make my own decisions investing my money.

To whom it may concern,
I completely understand the risks of leveraged instruments that I use for investing. I do not want regulators to impose restrictions limiting my ability to trade these investments. I have been trading for over 20 years. Restrictions like these would only reduce my ability to protect my portfolio during certain times of uncertainty, as well enhance my positions.
