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
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. So, actually/generally I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Rules should

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. Such instruments allow me to produce suitable returns while simultaneously limiting my capital outlay. They allow me to hold greater cash reserves for safety while I produce the cash flow I need to supplement my current family income and
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,
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
