I have purchased ProShares, which counter fall in bond prices. These shares have provided great financial insurance during the recent substantial rise of interest rates. It is true that ProShares may be more difficult to understand than "simple" Government bonds, but I understand gain from ProShares versus loss of other investment funds. I also understand the "insurance" cost of ProShares if bond prices were to stay constant. Please do not pass regulations that hamper investment in ProShares and similar funds.

I believe as a middle class citizen that I have the right to invest in funds. Public investments should be available to all not just the privileged.

Leveraged funds provide a hedge against inflation. Which is at a already high rate as it is now. I personally use them only for a small portion of my portfolio but I can see the use of them greatly. However, yes I do see there risk. As with an investment, of course it is of greater risk then typical

I vehemently oppose restrictions from Regulators such as FINRA whom I consider bureaucrats to limit my ability to invest in Leveraged ETFs. I have utilized 3X Leveraged ETFs for over a decade with tremendous success that has enabled me to amass millions in capital gains and has allowed me to retire comfortably. I do not want an investment "nanny" to tell me how I want to invest my own money. FINRA and others must Back Off!!!

To Whom it May Concern at FINRA,

Ive invested in leveraged and inverse products for a long time. Over that time, Ive developed personal expertise and bespoke strategies attuned to my risk comfort level and funds.

Im depending on this as a way to fund my retirement. My investments from leveraged and inverse funds will supplement (not supplant) income from traditional IRAs, 401(k)s, and Social Security.

If I can no longer access my familiar products due to regulation, an important income component will be lost.
