Michael Hanson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

This preposterous regulatory proposal is infuriatingly ill-conceived. It's both insulting to my decades of investing knowledge, and detrimental to my investment strategy. The notion that FINRA will categorically restrict my financial freedoms, especially given my successful use of leveraged investment products for over a decade, smacks of naivete, and a completely wrong-headed babysitting mentality. I would implore FINRA to back off this onerous, cudgeling implementation of a faux investor protection.

Trudy McMurray Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I can make my own investment choices and don't need the government to tell me what I can and cannot do. The public is quite tired of Gov't interference. Every American should have the same investment choices across the board and not only available to the privileged. Also, I am perfectly capable of understanding inverse and leveraged ETFs and your assumption or implication that I cannot is insulting.

Erik Elbieh Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am highly concerned about FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08 because it could negatively impact the time and effort I have put into managed my leveraged portfolio. By imposing rules that restrict the freedom of my financial decisions, the regulation will make generalizations about who is sufficiently knowledgeable about leveraged products to use them properly. Adding special hoops to jump through for "tests of knowledge" which do not accurately correlate to the proper use of leveraged products can do more harm than good.
