Cathy Zhu Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
It is my right to invest in funds that I deem valuable to my portfolio. Hedging investments by using inverse funds is an important strategy.

Hello, I realize you think you're helping, but you are definitely not. My ability to invest in leveraged, inverse funds has been the ONLY thing that has allowed me to hedge my portfolio in this year's market downturn. If you take it away, I'll be forced to hedge by shorting individual stacks and hope I choose right. That is much more dangerous.
It's extremely annoying when US Government regulatory agencies think they know what financial products are appropriate for me. The US was founded because a bunch of British citizens didn't approve of their overlord's restrictions. Unfortunately, it seems the 'leaders' of this country have learned nothing from that part of our history.
Im against restrictions on investments
Dear FINRA,
Once again, another example of an overreaching government agency trying to do whatever they can to stifle free markets. Hedging is something that has been done since markets began to mitigate risk. If FINRA really wanted to do something worthwhile, they could start looking into the derivative mess before we have another '08/09 mess.
I would like to let you know I fell that "Public Investments" should live up to their name and be open to the "Public". I am more than capable of understanding leveraged & inverse funds and their risks. I do not need an investment babysitter or any restrictions imposed that is going to make it any more difficult for me to get a good return on my investment. Please and thank you.
Individual investors should be permitted to trade leveraged and Reverse ETF. One does not need to have a large amount of capital to have intelligence and the ability to understand and use these investment vehicles. Special tests or other special requirements should not exist which would limit individual investors access to these vehicles. and, under no circumstances should access be cut at the current extended downturn in the market. These are exactly times when leveraged ETF provide the best opportunity to make gains.
Individuals should be able to access their own interests when investing without government regulations.
WE the people should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for ourselves and our family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged. I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!
Let everyone invest ! Protect them from the scammers. But other than that stay out of it. Quit trying to get your hands on it all and get what you can first. That's not your job. Not what we elect you for. So do what's right & stand up for the little guys who make this country what it is, GREAT !
