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.

Comments:

Regarding inverse and leveraged ETFs: I feel they both are important tools for retail traders, especially novice traders inexperienced with traditional short-selling and options.

As an informed investor, let me have the freedom to continue on to invest in leveraged and inverse products. Yes, investment is not without risk, but why should certain firms have more access than an individual investor?

Comments:

Do not block retail traders from making money under the auspices of "this is because you are too stupid and poor to be allowed to invest on your own." This proposal is insulting and transparent.

"Special tests" to invest is classist and racist. You are trying to block minorities and anyone who can't afford the time and money you determine is "enough to qualify" as a "qualified investor" from participating in the market.

Discrimination like this will never be tolerable.
