Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I do not want to have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
I do not want regulators choosing the publicly traded investments that are right for me.
Thank you for receiving my comments.

I am against you implementing your Notice #22-08 because it will prohibit me from buying instruments that go up as interest rates go up. Your notice not allow me to protect my extensive portfolio.

The public at large should be able to invest as they see fit. Saving some investments
for the rich is unfair to the general public.

Please do not regulate these Inverse funds! They are a vital part of my trading strategies! I understand the risks involved and I plan accordingly.

I am a big boy enough to make investment decisions without your intervention. On the other hand, I cant control the obvious manipulation from larger investment banks that continues unpunished in many of the markets FINRA is supposed to be monitoring. It would be appreciated if current regulations could be enforced instead of burdening retail investors. That would actually provide concrete protection.

I use expert advice to manage my personal investments for retirement. As a fixed income retiree, I require my continued ability and ease of access to easily invest in leveraged shares that run inverse to the market as buffer to a falling market. Time is not on my side as a older investor, I am opposed to any newly conceived restrictions to this access to funds like ProShares S&P 500. Please do NOT make such access to these investments harder to individual investors.

Investors and the public in general should have the right to decide what to do with their asset and wealth, where and how to invest to maximize their investment return. All investors, individual or institutional, should have equal access to all types of investment products.

Investors should be free to select which investments they feel are reflective of their risk level. It is asinine that the talk of banning leveraged ETFs is circulating when 18 year olds can place 100% of their money into a meme stock and then still access margin to double down on their stupidity, which is objectively more risky than a properly balanced, risk adjusted, leveled ETF portfolio. We need less regulation in this space. Should information be avaliable? Yes! It already is via fund documents. Should levered ETFs be banned? Absolutely not.

I'm opposed to the Nanny State and attempts to stop me from investing how I like. Leveraged and inverse funds are an interesting component to a diverse portfolio. Removing these would only handicap individual investors, which is not fair. They can be used along side unleveraged standard ETF's to enhance performance or hedge during time of high volatility. They are excellent products.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest and be able to choose the public investments that are right to me and my family. Leveraged and inverse funds are important tools in my investment strategies that help protect my investments when used as a limited part of my overall portfolio, and equitable and non-discriminatory access to them is imperative to public in free market economy and democracy. With my level of education and the abundance of educational materials available in print and online, I am capable of understanding the economics behind leveraged and inverse funds.
