Stuart Fink Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
I should be able to choose my investments in keeping with my strategy. Public is public not just for a select few. Keep it open.

I have 15 years experience trading leveraged ETFS
I have invested since 1998.
The only "game" in town is Government backed digital currency, a corrupt USSA government, and a worthless fiat, paper money.
Gotta go. Need to buy more silver.
Less government = less stress for non government humans.
I want to keep my right to invest using the TD Ameritrade. I will be able to choose the public investment that are right for me and my family. Thanks.
I use leverage to build capitol. With the exception of the January, February 2022 pivot in the market I have done very well in leveraged accounts. Perhaps a limit of 30% of your total account should be available for leverage would be a better solution for those who tend to leverage to much. Thank you for your consideration.

I consider my Pro Share investment an important part of my investment strategy. Changes or restrictions could materially negatively affect my investment.
I am against any restriction on my ability (opportunity) to participate on an equal basis with other investors. I am an avid reader and an active investor and feel very capable of managing my own affairs. I have worked with money managers and 401K restrictions in the past and found they were limiting and unable to generate the returns I can investing myself. I see no reason to place restrictions on what I choose to invest in within my brokerage accounts, whether they are in an IRA, Roth or not.
The leverage and reverse ETF is an important tool for retail investors to hedge market risk. While institutions have so many tools to diversify their investment risk, retail investor can only rely on limited choices to offset the market volatility. It is important to make leverage/reverse ETF available to retail investors.
Inverse ETF funds like those offered by Proshares are an important tool to help me self manage my stock portfolio. Rather than sell stocks to achieve a desired risk level, I frequently use inverse ETFs to hedge.
I don't think there should be restrictions on inverse index funds, or funds that are leveraged below 201%
