Please consider my comments on FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08. Leveraged funds provided on the open market (such as TQQQ, and SQQQ as a short vehicle) provide an equal opportunity for all investors to participate in returns for profitable investments without needing to understand and be involved with complexities of option trades. In an open and free market, such investment vehicles should be available to all investors in the public trading of the marketplace, and should not need any more complex verification of knowledge and/or abilities to undertake the risk and reward of such investment vehicles. Currently the TQQQ/QQQ ETFs, and on occasion SQQQ, comprise an important and significant part of my investment portfolio, and I wish that to be available in the future without unnecessary restrictions or hindrances. In summary, in the realm of open public investments, additional restrictions or removal of these leveraged vehicles from trading by the general public should not occur. The reward available from these investments should be available on the public market. Thank you for your time and consideration. Douglas A. Hopper [REDACTED]
