Robert Hong Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
We do not need big brother overseeing our decisions. I expect to be respected for my ability to make financial decisions. Leveraged and inverse funds are a very important part of a balanced portfolio.

Please let us invest in these funds.
The biden administration has done enough to increase our fees a and taxes on top of what was already there. Please dwny this new regulation
Do not make it any harder to outrun inflation and the ability to build wealth by stepping in here.
I have been an investor for a number of decades and would like the freedom to choose inverse and/or leveraged funds if that fits into my financial roadmap. I would really like to have that flexibility without any limitations.
Thanks!
We have the right to invest. Leave us alone.
It should be my right to invest as I see appropriate for me. Be it equities, bonds, etfs, mutual funds, inverse and leveraged funds, etc. as all investments imply risk. It is up to the individual investor as to where, with due diligence, they wish to apply their money
To whom it may concern:
I believe it is not up to FINRA to decide how to invest my money. I am fully responsible for my actions which includes understanding leverage and inverse funds and the risks that are involved. To regulate that does not hold up to our American definition of Capitalism. Thanks for your consideration.
I fully oppose restricting freedom to invest and creating obstacles for retail investors to interact with "complex products". If the intention is to protect people's finance, instead of taking the lazy path of restriction, a better way would be to educate. Majority of retail investors understand the risk they are taking by entering the markets, and creating a silo for the "elite" investors is against the values of a free access market. I hereby request that Notice #22-08 be revoked.
I don't agree with restrictions to buy leveraged funds. They are an option that should be available to all potential investors, not just high wealth individuals.
