I do not believe regulators should be the deciding voice on what is and is not appropriate investments. Ensure proper disclosures to the investor should be required but not picking and choosing investments.

I oppose the restrictions trying to be imposed by FINRA related to FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08.

I'm a fiscally responsible trader. Preventing people from openly trading due to irresponsible gamblers only harms people like me.

For sophisticated investors there is clearly a space inverse and levered products. Considering the very high trading volume in SQQQ and TQQQ there is clearly an active and liquid market for these products.

Inverse funds are one of a limited options to protect portfolios, also leveraged products can be a good option for short term investing.

I am a retail investor and use leverage ETF selectively to make to increase the beta of my portfolio when I have conviction on market direction. I understand the risk and rewards.
The risk of an investment in ARKK or BITCOIN or China is far greater than a 2X S&P 500. Should these also be regulated?
Every time I purchase a leverage product a disclosure pops up of the potential risks. I think that is sufficient.
