I wish to state my strongest objection to what I perceive to be an overt attempt by power-hungry control freaks in the federal government relating to limiting access to investment opportunities in, among other vehicles, inverse and leveraged funds. This is nothing more than a solution in search of a problem, in my view, and is a dangerous step toward government control of the marketplace.

Dear whom it may concern,
We the people are sick and tired of over zealous politicians that really only care about their own corrupt financial dealings attempting to limit ours "for our protection". We will ask for "protection" if that's what we wish our lawmakers to actually do. People shouldn't have political figures attempting to block them

I understand that you through FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08 are considering legislation that would likely eliminate my ability to buy leveraged funds, inverse funds, and other public investments. I oppose these restrictions on my right to invest. I should be able to consider risks and determine what public investments are appropriate for my family, not a regulatory body. In todays financial
This regulation would be used by financial advisors to essentially create a tax on individual investors who want to get exposure to certain financial products directly on their own. Perhaps there should be regulations that explicitly lay out risks of certain investments, but to force individuals to take a test or be licensed to directly buy certain investment products is entirely un American.
I disagree with the proposed rule in FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08. 1. I should be able to invest in public securities as an individual investor, including leveraged and inverse funds without any barriers. 2.

Hello FINRA,
I oppose the proposed restrictions on my rights to invest. While I appreciate your concern for the safety of my investments, I am fully aware of the risks involved when purchasing leveraged or inverse funds.
Leverage is a useful financial tool used by almost every financial institute in America, and I don't see any reason why I should be barred from using it.
Leverage can be
To Whom It May Concern:
I am opposed to any limits on what I, or other American citizens, can invest in. While I appreciate the need for education and careful analysis, it is up to me to do my due diligence and make the final decision.
Certain types of investments should not be reserved only for people with high net worth or specific financial experience.
Instead of limiting my ability to invest
Dear FINRA,
I think the current rules for investors are sufficient and there should not be more regulations placed on people in making investment decisions. I believe the vast majority of investors understand the risks of being in the market. Leveraged investments and those for accredited investors provided needed capital and are valuable tools in managing risk in a portfolio. Investors do not
I am not a child or mentally deficient so I find it disturbing that FINRA regulators feel that I need a nanny to oversee my financial decisions. Wealthy investors have access to advanced financial instruments not accessible to regular investors like myself. Leveraged and inverse funds somewhat even the playing field for retail investors. When the market becomes volatile I can hedge my investments
