A.J Walker Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To the fine folks at FINRA and the SEC -

Enough is enough. Over the years your efforts to protect investors from predatory industry practices have been nothing but stellar. But at some point in the last 20 years or so, you have jumped the proverbial shark. I have watched as the requirements for disclosure, for the tiny-print that extends to infinity (and beyond), all part of a steady yet woefully misguided march towards somehow protecting investors from themselves have become ridiculously cumbersome and exceedingly ineffective.

Felipe Garay Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I believe FINRA's proposed limits try to address a problem that does not exist. Retail investors should have the freedom to decide what to do with their money and Direxion does a great job with several resources in their website to inform us about the risks of leverage investments.

I understand well what the risks are of investing in leveraged ETFs and they have made me a better investor.

Also, my broker, Robinhood, provides warnings about leveraged ETFs each time I try to buy or sell the stock with big yellow characters.
