I found it very alarming to hear that FINRA is considering restricting access to leveraged ETFs. It is very concerning to hear that regulators believe private investors are incapable of understanding the risks associated with a leveraged asset like the ones that I utilize in my investment strategy. These investments undoubtably are more complex than an individual stock, but it is my belief that
I consider investing my own money a decision that I am fully capable of making without additional controls. The changes being considered to gate who has access to leveraged and inverse ETFs/Funds are barriers to entry. Personally, I use them in my investing to better manage market downturns and to gain better returns. In 2020 when the market was getting hammered, I was able to invest in an
It's extremely annoying when US Government regulatory agencies think they know what financial products are appropriate for me. The US was founded because a bunch of British citizens didn't approve of their overlord's restrictions.

I have a firm belief that I, not the regulators should be able to choose the investments that are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not

Hello,
My name is Christopher Francis Lewis Patterson. I am an non-traditional, first generation undergraduate Business Information Systems Major communicating to you in the midst of finals at CSUDH Dominguez Hills in Carson, California. There’s a lot of other details about me that you may find interesting relating to my upcoming dialogue, but that’s not what this comment is about.

Dear FINRA, As a US citizen and investor, I expect to be able to make my own decisions when it comes to my investing choices. Individuals should be able to choose from a variety of investments, including leveraged and inverse funds, in accordance with what is right for them in their own opinion.
