Comments: I am a small, (60K portfolio) non-commercial investor, approaching retirement, and I believe FINRA's attempts to require enhancements to current rules on Leveraged and Inverse ETFs (L&I Funds) unnecessarily limits investor choice. Such ETFs are an essential part of my portfolio. FINRA adoption of a more restrictive stance on non-commercial investors ability to buy
I have been investing in ETF's for the past 20 years, and I have made significant profits toward my retirement from these particular funds. Removing the ability for the retail investor to hold and trade these funds would severely unduly limit the average investor from profiting the same as the establishment and professional traders, which would be discriminatory and and unfair. We are
I am writing to state my opposition to any new rules (Notice #22-08) which would restrict my ability as an individual investor to use many of the investment products available, including leveraged and inverse investment products. I believe that the job of FINRA should be to assure us that the products are soundly constructed and to insure that the risks associated with their use are adequately
I would like to take a moment to let you know that It should be up to me as an individual to make my own decisions to use investment vehicles I see fit for my investment strategies.
Inverse and leveraged funds can be used to protect my investments from down turns or sentiment changes in the markets. It is important that these products remain available and easy to access without undue
I would urge you not to place any new restrictions on leveraged ETF products. I am a retail investor and am interested in investing in these products for a small part of my portfolio as part of a high risk / high reward investment.

Gentle ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you do not prevent investors from using various forms of ETF's, structured funds, and all the other forms of investment vehicles that some of us like to use to protect and enhance our portfolios. Speaking for myself only, because I cannot speak for all the other market participants as there are too many and they have areas of expertise that I don&#
I have been investing on my own for most of my adult life through a process that uses all means available to learn about the best methods and options to secure my family's future.
Investing is always risky, markets do not always continue to go up. However, through the use of leveraged funds I have an opportunity to boost my results above typical market returns while taking into
To whom it may concern:
I am writing to express my dismay that FINRA is considering regulations that may stop myself and untold numbers of other individual citizens in this country from being able to choose which public investments are best for ourselves and our families.
I shouldn't have to go through any special proscribed process such as passing a test before investing in public
I am extremely disturbed that regulators want to limit my ability to choose financial instruments. The contributor (public) should be able to choose the right investment for their individual situation NOT the regulators. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. This smacks of Government thinking they know better than the individual.

Dear Sirs- I have been successfully using leveraged ETF's that follow a multiple of either the S&P500, The Dow, and the NASDQ to bolster my investment portfolio, together with bell shaped conservative funds, using a diversified mix of funds. I am an aggressive investor. I have had success with a 10 or 15% mix of 2x and 3x bull market etf's. I have found the S&
