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.

If we can buy crypto and penny stocks, we should certainly be able to buy leverage stocks as well, if we so choose.

I am writing to express my concern about the potential regulations being considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). If these regulations are enacted, it would restrict my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, as well as many other popular investment vehicles that are deemed to be complex. I am a college student who is interested in investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I believe that these funds can be a great way to generate returns, and I should be able to invest in them without having to pass a test or get special approval.

I do not wish to be regulated on what stocks , ETFs or mutual funds or REiTS I may purchase

We shouldn't have to go through any special tests before we invest our money in public securities of our choice, like leveraged and inverse funds that we trade frequently. we understand leveraged and inverse funds and their associated risks. We do not need any restrictions imposed upon us.

I oppose FINRA dictating regulations on me. I have vern investing over 30 years, and they have no business trying to make it more difficult for me, a Retired woman to invest in whatever I choose.

Please fo NOT impose extra rules on us.

I strongly believe I should be able to invest in pro shares in whatever regard or amount that I please. Even with everything going on in the world right now I should not be limited on the amount of gas and oil shares that I purchase with money Ive earned. Please dont limited the amount of shares Im able to purchase, I feel that that is a violation of my right to be an American.

Don't limit my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs!

The risks associated with leveraged and inverse ETFs along with warnings are clearly stated by all brokerage firms on a screen that appears every time one tries to purchase them. This is sensible regulation. Anyone who takes even a moment to read this screen would understand the risks. What is not sensible regulation is establishing purchasing barriers on people who read because some people do not.
