This is to respectfully request that you DO NOT apply blanket and arbitrary rules that restricts investors access to publicly listed and traded securities. All investing incurs risk. Rules such as these could actually enhance liability as it implies other investments are "safe". Should investors assume "ZOOM" was a "safe, non-leveraged investment?
I oppose the regulations being considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. I have the right to choose which public investments I want to invest in. This should not be taken away to benefit only those with high net worth or a privileged few. I do not believe any process needs to be implemented in order to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I already use them as important
I believe all individuals willing to invest in publicly traded assets should have complete freedom to invest in whatever investment they deem appropriate for themselves. Especially in a day and age when there is already so much public disclosure and free financial education, one should be able to invest in any public asset he or she believes fits them and their risk profile. These investments
I don't think it's the government's business telling me what investments I can or cannot make or placing impediments in my path to make it more difficult or impossible. As long as the investment issues are above-board, public vehicles, and not fraudulent, scams, or money-laundering fronts, FINRA should butt out. If they are worried that we are endangering our
Im 58 years old. I have more than ten years of investing experience and have amassed more than three millions in stock assets, mainly by using leveraged ETFs to take advantage of severe market sell offs such as 2008 financial crisis and Covid-19 pandemic.

They help me hedge my
FINRA Regulators,
I take the time to write to you today in order to protest against the proposed regulations outlined in Regulatory Notice #22-08.
It is not the government's place to tell me what investments I can and cannot make. As an investor, it is my responsibility to understand the products I am purchasing.
I see this as a clear and blatant attempt at limiting the "retail
As an experienced investor who has been making my own financial decisions for 20 years, I find it to be an overreach by FINRA to restrict the ability for me to make my own decisions, thus forcing me to utilize unnecessary investment advisor firms. There are countless resources available to the general public, as well as investment documentation available to investors to understand the risks
I strongly oppose this measure. People must have the right to freely trade investment products at their own risk and based on their own research. If an individual decides to blindly accept a financial institution/advisor's trading recommendations then that individual could lose significant amounts of money regardless of whether or not leveraged or inverse exchange-traded products are
Comments: I am an active retail trader of leveraged ETFs, including inverse funds. I object to all proposed regulations that might require me to suspend my trading activity, including but not limited to minimum capital requirements, and regulations that may restrict execution of trading orders. Persons should be free to engage in speculation in financial markets and the disenfranchisement of any
