Comments: Regarding FINRA Regulatory Notice 22-08.

Ladies & Gentlemen,
It is my understanding that the FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08 is putting at risk my opportunity to invest in various methods of investing suggesting that I do not have an adequate understanding in how to do so while limiting the risk to me and my family. I and my family members, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are appropriate
It is an outrage that FINRA is considering limiting these powerful wealth building tools for non-high-net worth individuals.

The last time it appeared was around the same time the crypto market was starting. Given the size, mess, and potential for fraud and chaos that crypto is presenting I find it infuriating
Dear Sirs, I have been trading leveraged etfs for many years. Before that I had traded futures which I found to be very dangerous, much more so than etf. I did not really own the futures because they had an expiration date and because the leveredge was so high that they were subject to being automatically liquidated by the broker with a margin call. With etfs a least you own the shares , there is
