TELL REGULATORS:
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST

I do not believe that it is a good idea for equaiity to reduce or limit access to leveraged funds to anyone. Leveraged funds can help the underprivelaged and by regulating them further they might not know that the vehicles exist. Requiring a certain amount of net worth or potentially expensive or time-consuming tests is just plain wrong. Regulation could also cause these funds to crash, making them more volatile than they already are, which is the opposite of what regulation is supposed to achieve.

it is very critical for me to use the leveraged and inverse funds to protest and balance my long term investment.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST

Please let the free market decide the price without manipulation. Investors should have the freedom and flexibility to invest without restrictions

Please allow for the inverse ETFs to function as they are. There are enough guard rails in place to allow people to make educated judgement. We should not be restricting trading of these any more.

I want to voice my opinion that I STRONGLY oppose FINRA regulation Notice #22-08 that will attempt to limit my ability to invest in leveraged and/or inverse funds. I should have the freedom to make my own investment decisions and I do not want regulators to make those decisions for me. I regularly use both leveraged and inverse funds to limit risk and to enhance my returns. They are a limited but essential part of my overall investment strategy and I DO NOT WANT more regulations to interfere with my investment strategies.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST

I object strongly to the proposed regulations that would restrict my ability to invest in inverse funds. I am fully aware of the risks associated with such funds, and invest in them to reduce the risks associated with "long" stock and bond funds. My investment in an inverse fund is only a small fraction of my net worth, but my ability to invest at the time of my choosing -- and in the amount of my choosing -- is critical to the long-term performance of my portfolio.
