Comments:Limiting access to leveraged ETFs is the same as making it available only to an elite class or group.
Warning investors or traders of the higher risks of investing in or trading such ETFs could be sufficient and the way to go.

Dear FINRA regulators,
I'm writing to oppose Notice #22-08. Investors knows best for their investment objectives and therefore they shall choose the public investments that are right for themselves and their families.

Explain that you are capable of understanding your

To whom it may concern:
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Leverage ETFs are especially convenient way for us retail investors to take advantage of market volatility. If one's not capable of understanding the risks, fees and pros and cons associated with such ETFs they probably should leave their investment accounts to professionals altogether. Putting
Hello,
Please do not take away my ability to continue holding TQQQ as an investment. I have allocated a portion of my portfolio to holding TQQQ long-term. I am OK with a short test requirement to make sure people know what they're doing with leveraged ETFs like TQQQ. People shouldn't take on risks they don't understand. But please do not take away my ability to
