David Fennick Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

You did this already with Dodd/Frank legislation involving the FX market ( restricting margin access ). Now you want to do the same with the securities markets. Investors need instruments like these right now during the current bear market conditions ( brought on by the Biden Administration ) and others as well. We don't need the assailants offering us first aid to the conditions they created themselves.

Michael Buckley Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear FINRA,

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.

It is my money. I earned it... and I should be able to invest as I choose, even and especially leveraged and inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding the risk/reward associated with such instruments. I should not need to go through special processes to investment my money.

Thank you for considering my input.

I am opposed to regulation restricting the access to leveraged and specialty investment products by retail investors. I invest in leveraged, inverse, and commodity funds as they suit my needs. They are important hedges against market movements and inflation. I should not have to jump through hoops to access these products. Prospectuses are there for a reason and it is up to the individual to read them and educate themselves about the risks. Excessive regulation is unfair and restricts free markets. Todays rules strike a good balance between risk and responsibility.

As an individual investor I consider
leveraged and inverse investment funds very useful to manage risk in my overall investment portfolio. They represent a minority but important percentage of my overall portfolio and are utilized to help offset and mitigate risk in my more Substantial longer term positions on a short term basis, avoiding disruptive transactions in my long term holdings.
