I am writing to express my concern about the potential regulations being considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). If these regulations are enacted, it would restrict my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, as well as many other popular investment vehicles that are deemed to be complex. I am a college student who is interested in investing in leveraged and
I lodge my comment on FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08 opposing the proposed action by FINRA. Investors have legitimate risk management reasons for investing in leveraged and inverse funds as part of their retirement or other plans. Personally, I use these funds to mitigate the risk in my bond portfolios to interest rate increases that negatively impact these fixed income valuations. I understand
I am against limiting my options to invest in "complex" investments. I do not run an investing business in any capacity. I am an individual investor. These restrictions would be taking an important tool out of my toolbelt. I should be able to make my own choices on what risk I want to take and when. I should not have to go through testing and other restrictions as I am
I see this as another pathetic attempt at making investing and trading inaccessible to the average retail broker. All investors no matter the size should be able to invest in whatever they like. I personally have lost thousands over the past year investing in leveraged ETFs. However, I accept the losses and take them as a learning experience. All traders should be responsible for knowing the

I should not have to go through any unnecessary special process such as passing a test before I can invest in any publicly available investment products including leveraged and inverse funds.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged funds. I am capable of
Leveraged ETFs, including inverse funds are an important tool to everyday retail investors to hedge their assets and to increase their chances for successful investing and trading. These funds give the small investor an opportunity to compete with the big brokerage firms in a highly manipulated market, often fueled by high frequency trading of stocks, bonds, and options.

I dont see how this new regulation is necessary, since the stock market is open to the PUBLIC to invest. Then I believe it should only be right for the OURSELVES (the investors) to choose what should be right for us. I can see why this regulation can benefit a few people, but I dont understand why it would be necessary to enforce it onto everyone. Just like some people gets violated or insulted
