Virgle Deal Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

At 95 I never thought I'd be restricted as an individual investor from inventing in public securities, or have to justify and explain before investing.
Maybe I have lived too long to still be involved in public investments. That same problem seems to be applying in several areas of my life but this is a surprise it is even being considered.
Think about how you may want to be restricted as you age.

John Pauling Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Please do not restrict my usage of specialized market products. I use leveraged products to reduce the risks of my family's investments in many other securities. In times of war, such as now, and high market volatility, such as now, and high inflation, such as now, and irregular FED activity, such as now, I need these leveraged products to secure the future of my family. I am just an average investor, retired, and worried about the current events of the world, but I also have thirty years of experience in the use of leverage, such as the use of futures, shorts, and options.

I write to oppose restrictions on my ability to invest in any way. It is my responsibility to vet and select investments and investment vehicles I might use without the need to subject myself to tests or other practices deemed to protect me from myself. I use investments of this type as a hedge when I perceive the need. If these types of investments are available to some investors I feel they should be available to all investors.

Dear FINRA Regulators,

I write to you to urge you to not impose distractions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds such as ProShares.

I believe that each individual should have the ability to invest where they want and not be restricted to the privileged.

Adding additional special processes to invest where the public wants is a direct interference with the free market.

Individuals should have the right to use leveraged and inverse funds as part of their investment strategy without going through loopholes just to make their investment.
