I lodge my comment on FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08 opposing the proposed action by FINRA. Investors have legitimate risk management reasons for investing in leveraged and inverse funds as part of their retirement or other plans. Personally, I use these funds to mitigate the risk in my bond portfolios to interest rate increases that negatively impact these fixed income valuations. I understand fully that they work in the reverse when interest rates drop, but it is my responsibility to understand these risks and act accordingly.

I choose my investments. I should be able to invest in any security that is available. If you regulate my ability to invest because of your perceived problems-shame on you! Let's hope you will come down on the side of the small guys and NOT the FAT CATS. Less regulations and more freedom.

Hello

Everyone should have access to these products. If there's concerns about ignorance using them properly then make a short youtube video required to buy them.

They are useful instruments during volatility and should be embraced, not shunned.

Investors can make their own decisions. Keep Big government out of it.

Im a doctor that is also an accountant. I dont need the SEC or FINRA looking out for me. I invest small amounts on a short term basis in leveraged funds. I understand that all the money I invest can be lost. If people dont understand this then that is on them. Thats why they have a 401k and not their own self directed IRA or brokerage account. Im not against having to pass a small test or questionnaire, but having to prove net worth or high income is not fair.

I oppose restrictions to invest.

I have been investing for myself for many years now, and I believe it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to understand the risks of investing. Let's be honest here - anyone who invests or even paper trades knows they can lose money, it's the first rule learned. Please stop trying to pretend you are acting on our best interests by restricting our access to important tools needed to manage risk, including leveraged and/or inverse funds. Investors do not need, nor want, your interference in the management of our investments.

All Investors have the right to decide which public equities, bonds and funds they want to buy.

I strongly reject this regulation, it takes away investor's freedom and post extra burden/restrictions on individual investors.

Please leave leverage ETF do not ban them Please just been using margin options and short selling and make broker dealers have their clients do a course on it to see if theyre competent enough investing in them

It would be absurd to disallow this when others would be allowed to do the same via alternate means I.e. other derivatives.
