I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST.

I use part of my gain to buy leveraged ETF as a hedge to my investments.
I understand the risk involved in it.
but without leveraged etf, my whole portfolio is at higher risk.

Please keep "complex" investment vehicles open to all of the public, not just to those with the most money to spend. Requiring tests and other hoops to jump through are not necessary. In this market, inverse ETFs are very important to prevent losses from holding standard equities. Inverse funds are essential to all in the difficult market conditions we find ourselves in now.

Comments:I have used various leveraged etf in conjunction with my stocks and mutual funds for years. Im an individual investor with a regular job. Anyone investing in this category is responsible to do their own research regarding the risks and benefits on the direction website. There is short but effective information readily available pertaining to the nature of these levaraged investments. As in all investments, one should accept the possibility that the entire investment might be a loss.

I feel I have just as much right to freely invest as some who is rich. this should not be taken away from me or anyone else who is trying to better themselves.

Transitional Broker LLC appreciates the opportunity to comment on Regulatory Notice 22-08 published by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). We support FINRAs investor protection mission and commend FINRA for reminding members of their current regulatory obligations. However, we are deeply concerned that FINRA is considering a series of radical and unprecedented regulations that could prevent or deter our clients from accessing a broad range of public securities deemed complex.
