I am highly concerned about FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08 because it could negatively impact the time and effort I have put into managed my leveraged portfolio. By imposing rules that restrict the freedom of my financial decisions, the regulation will make generalizations about who is sufficiently knowledgeable about leveraged products to use them properly. Adding special hoops to jump through
Hello, I am an experienced trader and actively utilize leverage ETF's and I am requesting to allow the public continue to utilize these investment strategies. I have gone through training for stock trading and ETF's.
If you want to educate the public add investing to the US education system for high schoolers. They should be receiving education to manage their money and
As a registered representative, financial advisor and personal investor I would sincerely hope that I am never prohibited from using these funds in the future. If you want to ad investor education and or disclosures, so be it. But please do NOT reduce the availability of such products. As a rule of thumb, my firm does not permit the solicitation of these vehicles in my position. As for my own
Hello, First of all any rule changes should effect at least after 12 months (maybe 24 months) to be fair for the investors. We are using these funds generally to protect (hedge) our investment or sometimes to gain in a short time. We know the risk of the any investment which we are investing.

It is extremely important to me that I maintain at least the current level of freedom to flexibly and effectively invest via leveraged and inverse ETF products.

This attempt at preventing investors from making investments of their choosing is un-American and appears to be another way to further stack the deck against individual investors. As if the un-punished crime publically commited by Robinhood with them protecting hedge funds and stopping profits by a large group of small investors wasnt bad enough, this further rigs the game to ensure more small
Dear Regulators, As an investor, I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I agree that there should be warning agreements that need to be checked that an investor understands what they are getting into and the risks, JUST AS ALREADY EXISTS. NO
The idea that everyday people need to be "protected" from themselves with further regulation and restrictive safeguards pertaining to "complex investment products" is absolute nonsense and contradicts the very principals of a free and open marketplace. Real problems like naked short selling and big money manipulation goes completely unchecked, yet the magnifying glass is on
An individual investor making their own decisions is not the same as reckless wall street fund managers shorting with money they dont have. How dare the SEC come after retail traders when the clear issue is the wall street crooks. I trade for proprietary firms and i know what I am doing. It is apalling the Federal reserve is not being investigated and politicians are not being investigated,
I currently hold a couple leveraged funds and at various times in the past have held inverse funds. I also trade options. I have been trading for nearly 20 years and have a lot of experience. I never get in over my head on high-risk investments. I reserve the right to trade the funds, stocks, bonds and commodities that I deem are in my own best interest.
