Robert Sansome Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
I should be able to invest my savings how I like in inverse and leveraged ETFs. This allows me to hedge my investments against a major correction.

I don't understand what you're doing. Why do I have to have a high net worth to invest in the markets. Is this reserved for Bill Gates and Elon Musk only?
I am opposed to any move by FINRA to limit my ability to purchase, hold, and sell leveraged or inverse funds such as the ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF listed on NASDAQ as TQQQ among many others. I have found that trading leveraged ETFs such as TQQQ is much easier (and more profitable) for me than trading options on QQQ.
Please no. Just no. I have been investing in leveraged funds for years. They have become a valuable aspect of my portfolio.
Please do not take away my right to decide what to invest in.
The regulations are an affront to individual investment strategies.
Hello,
As someone who has used leveraged ETFs quite successfully over many years I absolutely do not support any additional regulations or restrictions on individual investors using leverage, futures, options, or any other manner of "complex" instruments as part of a self-directed investment strategy.
Dear Sirs,
I would like to continue to be able to pick my investments as they correct for my family and my investment needs. I do not agree that further regulation of Leveraged and Inverse Funds is needed. I understand the risks. These funds help me hedge against sudden and dramatic reversals in my investments Please allow me to continue to choose these funds unhindered Thank you for your consideration.
Stop all shorting. Stop ALL insider trading make it a minimum 100K dollar fine.
Then the rest of us would be ok if the wallstreet people weren't allowed to short.

It is certainly true that leveraged funds are more volatile than non-leveraged. However after a market downturn, they recover their lost value just as well as non-leveraged funds do. In other words, with leveraged funds one simply needs to take the long view towards investing, just as one should with non-leveraged funds.
I oppose Regulatory Proposal #22-08.
