I made the choice to invest in leverage ETFs like TQQQ. I fully understand the risk of this type of investment and would like to till have the choice to invest in it for years. Investing in this type of security is in my investment strategy for the long term and would not like for this ability to be removed or have to prove that I am serious about investing in TQQQ. I understand why the
I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.

Products deemed as such as used by investors such as myself after careful study, constitute a very small portion of my or my family office's net worth/liquidity, but present a vital tool in risk managment and/or achieving more beta in certain investing
To the FINRA board, I strongly believe that I should have the right to choose in what I get to invest in. Publicly traded companies should not be regulated or restricted to the American public.

Being able to trade leveraged or inverse funds like ProShares has enable my family to stay afloat during these turbulent last couple years. Regulating that away from public traders will have a wildly negative impact on the everyday trader. Balancing between funds like TQQQ & SQQQ have helped to keep my portfolio protected from so many economic impacts even through COVID and the

public investments that I feel are correct for me. I do not wish that option to change, no special process no more regulation

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in any public investments I choose and feel it is very unfair to hold these funds back for just the privileged.
