I strongly oppose restricting access to any public investments to those who already have significant financial and/or social capital. This is the sort of self-dealing that gives the financial industry the reputation of rigging the game in its own favor at the expense of retail investors. I personally use 3X leveraged funds to potentially enhance returns on a small portion of my overall portfolio
it is unnecessary and a clear attempt to drive up costs for the investors by increasing dependence on paid financial consultants - you exist to serve the investors NOT those selling services. Please work at reducing regulatory burdens on investors and concentrate on keeping financial consultants and corporate Board members working for the investors and staying true to their fiduciary duties.
I'm A Working-Mid Class, Blue Collar Guy. My Financial Investment Opportunities Could Implicate The Generational Stability Of Family And Loved Ones Present And To Come. Don't Allow Financial Regulations To Adversely Impose On Such Longterm Ambition While Cushioning The Pot Toward The Benefit Of Others Situated To Fleece Multi-Billion Corporations And Enterprise.
To Whom It May Concern:
Please find my official comment to FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08. I oppose the contemplated restrictions for the following reasons (among other things):
1. Financial instruments available to retail investors (like myself) have to go through a rigorous disclosure/registration process before becoming available generally for investment. It thus seems unnecessary to impose

Pushing unregulated crypto to the masses is nothing short of racketeering. I am a risk professional. Your industry has ZERO creditability in this arena. These products are the only thing protecting retail investors from the FED fueled, financially engineered, derivatives death star. FINRA's attempt at regulation is an indictment on the financial systems lack risk management.
Please, do not restrict me from investing in certain investments that you think I am not smart enough to understand. These securities are a part of my retirement plan and will set me back 10-20 years if I can not invest in them. You are not my financial advisors, you do not know what is good for my financial health.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The NASD invites members to vote on a proposed amendment to Article III, Section 35 of the NASD
Why should the government be my baby sitter and control my financial status in life. I take the chances financially but now they want money to qualify me if I dont give them money and spend more money to be qualified. See the logic in this. If I go broke its my money, see that logic. My money leave me alone
This is an unconscionable intrusion into my financial life. How dare you assume I'm too stupid to understand or that I don't know how to manage my own money.
If there is something innately wrong with these financial instruments, then outlaw them for everyone. Otherwise, if they're legal instruments, it's my business and mine alone whether or not to invest in
