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
I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me; for myself. Regulators shouldnt dictate what I can to do with my own money. Additionally, Regulators have no right to judge my intelligence or tendency to seek professional counsel for my financial decisions. It's not a Regulators place to believe Im too stupid to understand, and to impose education upon me for following
I oppose the FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08. This regulation is an unprecedented attack on the workings of a free market system. It has no basis in reality, meaning it is not addressing any real issue. There is no need for this type of regulation, it is not protecting anybody and it seems a covert attempt to manipulate and allow further manipulation of markets. We do not need more draconian,
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

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
As a retail investor who does my own homework, I don’t need more regulation from a nongovernmental organization. Using inverse ETFs when I deem them appropriate has helped my retirement funds gain 9% YTD, whereas commonly traded ETFs like SPY, QQQ, and TLT are down 12-20% YTD. Perhaps you’d first like to explain to the Fed that inflation is not “transitory”? Or perhaps explain to them the
To the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority: I stand strongly opposed to regulatory efforts that limit my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. As a non-professional investor, I am nonetheless capable of understanding the risks of leveraged and inverse funds, and have used these funds prudently to diversify my portfolio. I do not need government oversight of how I invest my money,
