Central bankers and government deficit spending have created once unimaginable asset bubbles, risk, and volatility.

To navigate these treacherous conditions, you need to have advanced tools and investments, and leveraged and inverse ETFs are part of that toolkit.

These investments are an important part of managing risk for a small investor like myself. I'm able to deploy a smaller amount of resources to hedge downside risk while maintaining longs/cash.

We trade Options with much more risk and leverage.
Please let us continue to traded leveraged funds.

As an individual investor, it took me years to improve my investment method, I have been quite successful at doing so, only when learned the usage of leverage funds. These tools have allowed me to achieve respectable returns while avoiding the most damaging strategy of all "MARGIN".

I urge you as regulators, to protect, as citizens, our judgment independence and liberty at using approved trading and investing tool.

Whie it was requested that I email you my disapproval of your potential regulations on leveraged and inverse funds, having read the proposed changes I think they sound like fantastic and needed changes. I think they'll help new investors from making poor/uninformed decisions that can result in disasterous consequences and I support your efforts 100% even if it makes my investing a little more tedious at times. Thank you for looking out for us.

This is against free investing. These ETFs are new tools for retail investors to get involved in good investment opportunities.
The government should not regular for these.
Do not kill Prosperity

Im writing to provide strong rebuke of FINRAs Regulatory Notice 22-08 and its attempt to limit investors/traders (I/Ts). What FINRA is proposing is tantamount to treating I/Ts like immature children. Its highly evident in the statement FINRA released: However, important regulatory concerns arise when investors trade complex products without understanding their unique characteristics and risks. Like complex products, trading in options may pose risks if investors do not have the financial experience to understand options and options trading strategies.

I have employed Leveraged ETFs for the past year without difficulty or undue financial damage and would like to have continued access. I did not (and do not now) have problems understanding the nature of these investments and do not want to pass a test to continue using them, especially by some person or automated "grader" that is not personally acquainted with me.

We are in the dawn of the empowered, intelligent investor and these restrictions are a clear step backwards in empowering the individual to make choices for their own financial well-being.

Leveraged funds have allowed me to seek enhanced returns without the need for obtaining further credit. This was incredibly helpful when I was younger and had less ability to obtain credit lines for this purpose. Inverse funds also allow for a much easier ability to diversify and hedge my investments, without needing to enter into more complicated options.

The stock market should be open, transparent, and only minimally regulated to prevent predatory or scam-like investments. People should be generally free to invest in whatever they choose whether that be bitcoin, inverse funds, "traditional" funds, individual stocks and bonds etc... etc... Why don't you spend more time investigating, or regulating, why and how nearly all politicians become wealthy while working for the US citizens?

This ensures that the small guy will be held back and gives the institutional players and family offices with inter-generational wealth an unfair competitive advantage.
