I am extremely disappointed to hear about yet another regulation to come from this already overreaching authority. I am an individual investor and these leveraged products have played an important role in my portfolio for over a decade. I have used them to both limit my risk and to enhance returns. As an example, I wanted exposure to the S&P 500 but also wanted to hedge a portion of my portfolio with gold to protect against the ongoing runaway spending by our government.

Good morning.
I think these proposed regulations are messed up. Just yesterday I was reading how Fidelity is allowing bitcoin in retirement accounts (that Ponzi scheme is something that MIGHT be worth your time, but not this). I live in America and I don't want or need our government limiting me. I want the same opportunity to make money as everyone else. Please stop making more and more rules, you're just making my life more complex.

I oppose these new regulations that they want to implement in these ETFs. I think it is unfair that only qualified people or people with degrees in finance can access this type of investment. As a small investor, I believe that my money has the same value as yours, so I don't understand why there is discrimination. Each person assumes the risk of their investments. I beg you to reconsider your regulatory plans, do not take away the opportunity for small investors like me to be part of this type of investment. Than you!

I support investor choice. Let these types of funds remain. Investors that find these funds understand the risks associated.

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.
