Kurt Hoesly Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

This proposed rule is a bad idea. Making any investments is inherently risky - even the "blue chip" stocks have periods when they don't do well. Some people have a higher tolerance for risky investments than others. If they are willing to take the risks involved in buying into an investment, and they have the wherewithal to afford it, they should not be limited.
Also, the list of investments on the "risky" list is not really a very accurate list - there are some that are not that complicated, and there are some which should be there which are not.

To Whom It May Concern - I consider the proposed FINRA restrictions to Leveraged and Inverse funds to be yet another example of the Nanny State coming to the rescue of individuals that the government and their agencies feel the need to protect. I for one am more than capable of understanding the risks of these investment vehicles and want NO restrictions on my investment strategy. L&I funds are excellent short term alternatives for volatile markets (such as early 2022) and are especially useful as hedges to the larger percentage of more traditional equity positions.

Trent Kochman Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

The proposed limitations on certain purchasers of leveraged and inverse funds appears arbitrarily selected with no rational justification as to how it is meant to protect anyone. It appears the "protection" factor is nothing but a ruse to give an unfair advantage to professional and institutional investors - by given them privileged access to investing options not available to retail or individual investors. Risk is inherent to all investment options.

To whom it may concern,

Regarding the disturbing news that you are going to start regulating and possibly preventing me from purchasing some publicly available leveraged ETF's, I wanted to relay my opposition to such a plan. I have several of these holdings in my retirement and taxable accounts and am fully aware of the risks and significant swings along with the market. Have you seen the volitility in TSLA lately??
