I am strongly opposed to any new regulations that would hinder an investor's ability to navigate today's complex markets. Tools such as leveraged and inverse funds are critical to the ability to hedge a portfolio. In fact, I find the existing rules to be somewhat arbitrary and onerous.
More regulation does not help the individual investor but rather, undermines their ability to
It seems that every day there is a new government restriction on the citizens of this country. Wear a mask, get a jab, do this, don't do that, over and over and over. This is just one more power grab by the ruling class, one more attempt to exclude citizens from what they have, to restrict our freedom to live as WE see fit, not subject to a "test" or a qualification
Hello, I have been buying crypto currency and crypto funds since early 2021. I am unhappy that till date SEC has not made decision on what rules should apply to crypto. Since January 2022 the whole crypto group has been in decline. The decline is due to SEC inability to make decision within appropriate time.

I'm writing in opposition to proposed rules that would limit the public investor from investing in inverse and leveraged funds. I find it insulting that you feel you know better than the investor how to best analyze risks and formulate investment strategy.

I oppose further regulations to public investing. It is my humble opinion that instead of trying to implement radical and unprecedented regulations to restrict public trading that you focus your time and energy on educating the general public. I believe the regulations proposed by Rule #22-08 will help continue the current trend of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. I have been
I found out about the request for comment through https://www.leteveryoneinvest.com/ which in my opinion gives very misleading information about what FINRA is trying to do here. First, I think FINRA's enforcement of existing rules and regulations is extremely poor and that should be addressed before anything else. What's the point of adding additional suitability rules when the agency
I have been using and relying on leverage and inverse ETFs to manage my and my families accounts in regular and retirement accounts for decades. The results have been either the same or better than standard mutual funds and have beaten the S&P average on a number of occasions.
A change to the current regulations would potentially negatively affect my investment strategies and family
I'm writing to ask that you don't change rules that would disallow me from making my own choices on which funds that I choose to invest. There should not be any special litmus test to determine my ability to invest in funds of my choosing. Leverage funds have benefited me greatly. My investments have grown exponentially, especially during lean covid years. Most investors who use these
Investors, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for the inventors and family. Public investment should be available to all of the public.
