I should be able to pick and invest in any type of fund I wish, without any testing or high net worth requirements.

If regulators were truly concerned with retail investors well being there would be actual transparency when it comes to dark pools. There would be jail time for breaking the law, not fines that are rolled into the cost of doing business.
Dont worry about me and my money. Go after the financial terrorists that manipulate the stock market daily.
As individuals and investors is a free market/country we should have the ability to invest in all security with in the stock market with out being restricted.
Hi Finra, the american public should have the right to invest in leverage funds. I use them to trade commodities, indexes and where I have a long term position I use them to hedge my position. If you don't make these funds available, you will force investors to go to options, which are much harder to trade with. I think the FInra issue is that leveraged funds should not be held for the long term....sure I understand that, and if thats the concern tell investors of it using examples and make them acknowledge it.
This would be an unfair and oppressive regulation if passed. Please reconsider.
Hello, I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments like leveraged funds. I should not have to go through any special process and should be able to choose any public investments and not just limit them to the privileged. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.
These is not right I want my freedom to buy and sale any stock these regulations is not right
Please do not limit my ability to buy investment products that are leveraged or inverse funds as these products allow me to put my portfolio in neutral much more easily that selling everything and then buying it back. I am fully aware of the risks and benefits.
FINRA Regulators,
I take the time to write to you today in order to protest against the proposed regulations outlined in Regulatory Notice #22-08.
It is not the government's place to tell me what investments I can and cannot make. As an investor, it is my responsibility to understand the products I am purchasing.
I see this as a clear and blatant attempt at limiting the "retail investors" access to advanced financial products. I cannot voice my opposition to Regulatory Notice #22-08 loudly enough. You are harming those whom it is your job to protect.
