I invest in leveraged funds.
They have been an important part of my long-term investment strategy for over four years.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and/or inverse funds.
I am able and should be allowed should be able to choose the publicly traded investments that are appropriate for me and my family, not regulators.
Furthermore, public investments should be available
Dear FINRA,
I am opposed to the potential restrictions by FINRA on my right to invest in public investments. I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and my family. Publicly traded investments should be available to all the public and not just the privileged. I am more than capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I should not have to go
I have just learned from my brokers communication that FINRA is seeking public comments on restricting investors from buying a broad range of public securities designated as "complex products". I am an investor to handle my retirement accounts. It is very important for me to use as many tools as possible to protect my investments including inverse funds instruments for and
I am commenting on FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08:
- FINRA's proposed limits may restrict my access to L&I Funds or disqualify me from trading L&I Funds or other "complex products".

I oppose the possibility of restrictions being placed on my rights to invest in public investment vehicles. I should be able to choose what investments are right for me. Investments should be available to everyone not just who regulators deem worthy. I use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge positions and they are an important part of my strategies. There shouldnt be any kind of special
I am writing in opposition to limiting, and/or curtailing, access to certain complex trades. Limiting access to the general public promotes a preferred class and thus discriminates. Mandating qualifications further promulgates class distinction, in the guise of evaluating financial literacy. It perpetuates an old-boy culture.
Free and open trade should be supported; not denied. Individual
As a small business owner and someone who enjoys directing my own investments, I want to comment on the proposed regulation of leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged funds make up a small, but important part, of my investment strategy. These funds are not difficult to understand nor are their potential risks and benefits. My investment strategy is conservative but leveraged funds give me an
I oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in public investments, including and not limited to leveraged funds.
I am the one to decide which investments are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to everyone, not just those someone considers privileged.
There should be no process to go through like passing a test, we don't need some bureaucrat. I am
