Leveraged and inverse funds are a hedging tool when I think put option premiums are expensive and/or I am unable to directly short a stock or ETF in my retirement accounts. I also use them to make speculative directional bets where I deem appropriate.

Dear Sirs/Madams, It's come to my attention that you are considering regulating so-called complex or leveraged ETFs. As an active small investor, I implore you not to do so. I use these ETFs to hedge risk in the marketplace, and this gives me confidence in my investments, knowing that I can sustain market shocks, as well as to maintain reasonable rates of return. I have been using these for two years, and it has worked well for me. The notion of requiring a "test" for these ETFs strikes me as an undue and unreasonable hardship for myself and my fellow investors.

Leveraged funds have been an important way I have improved returns. Inverse funds have allowed me to reduce risk of market crashes. People should be able to do this without having a high net worth.

I would like to say that I am in favor that the people should decide what shares to buy and what not to buy because it is the peoples money that they are using to get a hold of the shares so they can invest for their retirement or future for their families.

Could someone please inform FINRA that the US is well into the throws of a total societal/financial collapse, as is most of the rest of the planet. Adding layers of burdensome regulation and limiting the public' in which publicly traded securities they may or may not use for speculation, hedging or investment purposes is equivalent to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic after it hit an iceberg.

To may it whom concern,

I believe its unfair to regulate leveraged investments in te middle of a financial "crisis". The stock is deeply down, so it could be a measure that affects an important amount of people and their welth. I, Rafael Sanabria, invested on these ETFs knowing the risk that they imply in my portfolio. Please let us trade by ourselves.

Thank you for listening.

[REDACTED] FINRA for considering such a [REDACTED] idea. Another way to snub the freedom of retail investors. Dumb [REDACTED] making this plan can [REDACTED].

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

Absolutely NO to notice 22-08

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 privileged.

I should not have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies and provide enhanced returns.

Therefore, I do not want these measures imposed on me.
