Ethan H. Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear FINRA,

It is heart-breaking to hear that you are considering to restrict retail investors to trade leveraged ETFs. I strongly object any limitation that might be applied on trading leverage ETFs.

It is my personal right to use the financial instrument that I choose to invest my own money. The leverage should be available to all of the public, not just the rich and privileged. Any restriction on my freedom to trade leveraged ETFs should be considered as unconstitutional.

Hello, I am a retail investor who regularly buys and sells leveraged index fund products. I trade these funds based on a strategy I have developed with great research and care, and know full well the risks involved. Leveraged index funds provide retail investors access to position-sizing and diversification strategies that would be too onerous for such investors to implement themselves.

Retail Investors, not regulators , should decide what public investments are right for them and their family without discrimination.

Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged, i.e. high net worth investors.

If public investments are restricted or heavily burdened
by various barriers such as subjective tests, permissions, then this is the first step to end public free markets, and end many financial services. Current disclosures and education are sufficient.
Thanks

Regulators should not be involved in the decision of what I can invest in and what I can't invest in. It is not the job of ANY government agency to determine what I do with my hard earned money. There should not be any "special process" that I must follow, such as passing a test, before I can make my own investment choice.
I do not want or need these or any other government measures imposed on me.
The thought that a government agency should be able to dictate whether I am competent enough to make my own decisions is completely ludicrous!

I am a self-directed and self-educated investor who got a late start building wealth due to many years of school. The use of leveraged ETFs has helped me and my family to build significant wealth, especially coming out of the pandemic, and has helped me become closer to financial security. It is no understatement to say that leveraged ETFs have taken a huge burden off my shoulders. I am aware of the risks of these types of investments and have learned the appropriate times to buy, or to sell the profits.
