To Whom It May Concern:
Your recent notice, FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08, seems very problematic for everyday investors. Leveraged and/or Inverse funds serve very important functions for retail public investors. Most of the time, they provide the only way for a retail investor to cost effectively hedge a position or a certain exposure. For example, earlier this year my wife and I were waiting
