Lester Telkamp Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I'd like to share my comments concerning your contemplation of requiring certain restrictions, limitations and/or abolition of certain inverse, levered investment products. I have been using both of these types of products for years and feel they are important tools that individuals, like myself, can utilize to manage our financial assets in the stock markets. Both these tools, when properly used like hedges, can lessen volatility in my asset's price performance, and protect from extreme selloffs like March 2020.

You not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
It is very important that you express your views in your own
wordsyour comments are more likely to be taken seriously
by FINRA if they reflect your own experience and perspective.
Not only do you have the right to share your views,
but the regulators are required to take your comments into

Mauricio Flores Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear FINRA Regulators:

I use Public Investments as a tool to build my financial future and that of my family. As an investor I want to have all options available to me and they should be available to others too, at any time, with no restrictions whatsoever. I want to have the right to choose freely what Public Investments to use in my portafolio and assume full responsibility for my investment decisions, since no one but me knows better what is best for me and my family.

As a retail trader, levered and inverse funds make it easier to allocate less capital to execute trades which has been very beneficial. Additionally it allows for a simpler way to get exposure to the options market. There are plenty of disclaimers and agreements before one can purchase those instruments so there's no reason to get rid of them other than to limit the abilities of the retail trader.
