Miles Waller Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear FINRA regulators,

Though I don't work in the Finance industry, I work in Corporate Accounting, leveraged and inverse ETFs are part of my personal investment strategy. I do my own research, read as much of prospectuses as possible, and understand the risks I take before making trades. As a free American, I should be able to keep using leveraged and inverse ETFs like I always have been.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.

I strongly oppose regulators blocking investments such as leveraged ETFs and inverse fund ETFs. These funds serve a valuable investment tool with lower risk than other investment tools such as options and options strategies or even investing is some stocks outright. As a long time investor I am capable of understanding the risk related to leveraged funds and I don't require the government to impose measures to protect individuals.

No one has a problem with investing in Amazon of Nvidia or Facebook at their high points only to watch them lose 25% of their value in a matter of weeks if not days. But yet you want to "protect me" from a leveraged or inverse fund. Best case scenario is you do nothing and let me be responsible for me. At worst is a one time information screen that I agree that I am trading in a speculative market. It just seems anything other than that gives privilege to a select few. Thank You
