Comments: I am an investor, an advisor, a father, a son, husband and business owner. I have used these leveraged products in small amounts and I feel there is a lot of warnings, disclaimers, etc on these already. If anything maybe make the warning bigger or more bold but don't limit the access of these. That would in my mind do the following 1-increase risk because it would limit volume and
Do not take away access to leveraged funds. These are important tools and they are not terribly dangerous. Why attack these? Do something more useful like make it illegal for short sellers to "manufacture" fake shares and make the consequences very very expensive for breaking the law.
These inverse etfs help me hedge my portfolio in periods of downturn. I don't beleive you have the right to tell me whatvto invest in. These are available for bigbinsitutions in some form or another and are easer for me to use instead of shorting individual stocks myself.

I am AGAINST passage of FINRA’s Regulatory Notice 22-08 taking effect. I trade indexed ETF's over short time horizons, am aware of, and am satisfied with the risk acceptance protocol followed by the service providers. I DO NOT WANT ACCESS TO COMPLEX PRODUCTS RESTRICTED.
I would like to voice my concern over restricting leverage trading. They are vital to my retirement strategy. I can make great profits with less exposure and in a shorter time frame. The brokerages do an outstandin job of informing us of the risk and that they are for short term trading.
I would like more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports. I’m very worried about my personal investments being manipulated with this lack of transparency.
There MUST be more transparency in the market! The alternative in this day and age of technology, will be constant scenarios like gamestop and AMC. The retail investor constantly gets the short end of the stick. MAKE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE!
