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.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!
Individual freedom is important. Seat belt rules should be kept to the absolute bare minimum possible (if at all).
Making it harder to invest in these classes of investments just exacerbates the problems we have with the disparity between ordinary people and professional investors.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important strategies, do not prevent people like me from being able to utilize them, especially during periods of volatility and uncertainty like the current environment.
As I understand this move by the Biden Administration You want to limit our freedoms. That would be the another step to removing all Americas freedoms and dividing our nation into the have and the have nots. FINRA Proposed Rule #22-08 is not a good move for America and you know it and so do we.
