I write to you to urge you to not impose distractions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds such as ProShares.
I believe that each individual should have the ability to invest where they want and not be restricted to the privileged.
Adding additional special processes to invest where the public wants is a direct interference with the free market.
Individuals should have the right to use leveraged and inverse funds as part of their investment strategy without going through loopholes just to make their investment.
Think about where you were in the past and how an organization restricting your rights would make you feel.

Stephen Makar Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
Dear FINRA Regulators,
I write to you to urge you to not impose distractions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds such as ProShares.
I believe that each individual should have the ability to invest where they want and not be restricted to the privileged.
Adding additional special processes to invest where the public wants is a direct interference with the free market.
Individuals should have the right to use leveraged and inverse funds as part of their investment strategy without going through loopholes just to make their investment.
Think about where you were in the past and how an organization restricting your rights would make you feel.
I hope you take this note into consideration.
