Dylan Timms Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Comments: I believe that the foundation of a free market is the ability to choose the financial decisions that we as people make. While I understand that regulation is necessary to create a safe market environment with lower risk and less chance of inexperienced losses, there could be no possible way in which new regulations would be fair to all types of investors. A small percentage of investors outside of firms also trade leveraged ETFs or equities, and this will directly impact their investment goals or strategies that are currently in place.

Pradeep Mehra Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I do not agree with FINRAs proposed limits that may restrict my access to Leveraged ETFs or disqualify me from trading L&I ETFs or other complex products. I have a strong understanding of the characteristics and risks of L&I Funds, and that their purpose is for short-term active trading, and that they should be monitored regularly. My broker provides me a description of the warnings in connection with my investments in L&I Funds, and their rationale.

Shelby S Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. I, not regulators, should get to choose the public investments that are right for my investment strategies. Public investments should be available to all, not the select privileged. I oppose requirements of regulator-imposed tests, sharing private financial information, obtaining special permission, and any and all other restrictions on leveraged/inverse funds. Like many other retail investors, I understand leveraged/inverse funds and other complex products and their associated risks.
