Stuart Rickey Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To the SEC:
Please do NOT adopt the proposed rule!
I have included leveraged and inverse leveraged funds in my portfolio for well over a decade. I understand the concept of volatility drag and as an antidote, I employ modified dollar-cost averaging to lower my cost basis.

It seems criminally unfair for one branch of the government the Fed to create an overinflated market, only to have another branch of the government the SEC barge in and take away the one tool we had to defensively hedge against the former.

I recent got the citizenship. In the civic test I learn that the freedom is one of the core value of American. I should have the freedom of choose what public investments I want and take the risk I am willing to take. This should include the inverse funds. The inverse funds is a very important in my portfolio. I have long term investment which are regular funds. But at a high position, instead of sell these funds, I could choose to invest in the inverse funds to protect the value of my portfolio.

Bruce Churton Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I object to proposed rule #22-08. I believe it is the investor's responsibility, or in other words, my responsibility to choose whcih investments are best for me. I shouldn't have to go through a special process to dietermine if I'm allowed to invest in a publicly available investment. This rule appears to me to restrict certain investments to select few that meet specific criteria.

Kyle Hercher Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I feel strongly that FINRA's proposed rule (#22-08) is incorrectly applies 'investor protection' as FINRA's stated purpose is, specifically with regard to leveraged and inverse products. As a user of such products, were these rules implemented, I would be forced to potentially re-create the same sort of exposure on my own which is a far greater risk to my own personal net worth than it is to invest with professional money managers.
