Andrew Kort Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
I'm fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. There is no reason to impose new measures.

Rules “enhancements” means more rules. My broker make it very clear this was a very high risk investment. I was required to sign approximately 4 different documents that I had never had to sign before in 35 years of investing. I know exactly what I own and don’t need extra protections.
DO NOT MESS WITH OUR CRYPTO!!!!
In a free market society, I have the right to invest my money in public entities of my choosing. I dont agree with further regulations.
I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Just become someone isn't already a "high net worth individual" or doesn't have a high salary job, doesn't not automatically mean they are not intelligent enough to understand how investing works. Even more "complex" investing strategies can be learned and individuals can understand their own risk tolerance and easily research what the risks of certain strategies are. Leveraged and inverse funds can be an important piece of some overall investment strategies.
Let the small retail investors, such as myself, make our own decisions about what we invest in. I don't need you to make the decisions for me.
I write to you in strong opposition to the proposed rule changes to which this public comment refers. I understand and applaud FINRA's desire to protect consumers - however I must insist you find a different way to do it. Simply restricting my access as an individual investor to a broad range of investments doesn't serve to protect me - it serves to drive my investing into underground, risky, and possibly illegal enterprises.
would like to keep this right
I am a retail investor who prefers to use inverse ETFs to hedge my positions. Allowing investors like me to use inverse ETFs and sell them at bottoms helps to end bear markets. Please allow freedom to invest.
Regulators should not be allowed to identify correct investments for myself and my family.
Testing that permits individuals to invest in public securities should be prohgibited.
I do not wish the govenrment or a regulatory body to pick 'winners' and 'losers' among publicly traded securities.
