Joseph Frangiosa Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Several Comments on FINRA Notice #22-08: 1) I understand exactly what inverse and leveraged funds are and do not wish to be burdened by any type of special process that delays or restricts my ability to invest in such funds. 2) I can choose for myself what investments are right for me and do not want any regulations that would restrict my choice to do so in any way while potentially letting others invest in such securities. It's a matter of fairness to all market participants.

Zeke Domowski Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

What I do with my money is my choice. It is an overreach to tell me what I can and can't invest in.

Please do NOT restrict investing in leveraged funds.

If restrictions are put in place and I am forced to sell a stock at a loss, that loss will be replaced by those that vote for it.

Do not push this bill through unless you have millions of dollars to pay back your constituents if there are any losses that occurred from forcing them to sell their shares.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in TQQQ, SQQQ and other leveraged products. I have been investing in these products for years and they are no more risky that any other stocks in the market. Anybody trading in the market has to understand that there is risk involved and chooses to take that risk...regulators should not try to babysit investors by trying to tell them which stock or fund they should or should not invest in.

Mike Knapp Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I resent the thought that I cannot choose for myself what investment products work best for me. And I find it insulting, manipulative and corrupt that only those with privilege (high net worth investors) would be allowed to use these trading vehicles. I use these types of vehicles to hedge positions as well as to take advantage of down movements, since I can not use options in my IRA account. I don't need a mama or some Big Brother organization trying to assume parental type authority.

Stan Carter Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have been a holder of TBT as an inflation hedge against higher interest rates for a while now. The position has been profitable and is becoming even more profitable with recent rate hikes. I am a long term investor and want to be able to choose my investments that I feel are suitable for me, I do not want my choices dictated by someone else. My trade was unsolicited and made with the full knowledge that I could lose money if rates went against me. It is a small measured position and will not impact my overall portfolio in the least.
