Steven Meyer Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear FINRA, I am writing you to express my desire that I retain my ability to trade leveraged ETFs. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to me, and they allow me to seek enhanced returns. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their performance characteristics, and I don't want a third party evaluating my capability to do so and potentially prevent me from investing in them. I want to preserve the long-standing free public markets where investors have the freedom to buy public securities without additional government-imposed limitations on investor choice.

You have no right to restrictions. I will pull all my money and others might do so. Then, where are you going to apply your restrictions? I have right to choose and do what is the best for me and not just to only the privileged. You REGULATORS sound as lobbyist. I am capable to understand leverage and inverse funds and their risks and do not like to be impose. I have been in investment long enough.

I strongly oppose to limit my choice of investment. The restriction poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu, but except rich people. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely affected if it passed.

Why would you be taking our ability to invest in leveraged funds away from us? Ive been investing for over 40 years and regularly use these types of funds as hedges against certain events.

Perhaps turn your efforts against the Wall Street market makers and movers who unfairly manipulate the market with dark pools and paper shorts that never have to be made good on by actually delivering instead of perpetually failing to deliver or fairly margined instead of every street investors such as me who have always played by the rule of securities law.

Not allowing citizens the ability to invest in inverse or leveraged funds based on that person's net worth or specialize skill is unfair and unwise. I would be unable to hedge my investments in rocky times. Rather than protecting investors from potential losses, these rules would subject them to unnecessary losses. These regulations would not help the average investor and more than likely have the the opposite effect. Many investors such as myself would be very hesitant to invest in traditional products in the future and lose money to inflation.
