Regarding the proposed FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08, I strenuously object to ANY legislation restricting ANY investment I choose to make. I have my own best interests at heart -- regulators only want power and could care less whether I have access to the investments I need for my own personal financial security. It is appalling how patronizing, paternalistic, meddlesome, and tyrannical
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the largest independent regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States. FINRA’s mission is to protect America’s investors by making sure the securities industry operates fairly and honestly.
Along with their responsibilities to the securities industry, FINRA employees have responsibilities to all of FINRA’s other
I feel that I, not regulators, should have the right to choose the public investments that's best for my family. Publix investment s should be available to all the public, not just the privileged.

I am an experienced investor and a former CPA and former financial executive of two NYSE listed companies. I do not consider it appropriate for the government to tell me and my wife what I can and cannot invest in.

What is deemed "complex"????....A regulators job is to ensure proper disclosure and the integrity of what they regulate. Risk is part of investing/ markets and consumers deserve innovative products to choose from. To some Bitcoin is complex. Do not take innovation out of our financial markets. Investors want the "freedom to choose" from a variety of products
As a former financial advisor of 44 years (now retired), I would like to strongly protest additional regulatory restrictions on the use of leveraged or inversed funds, beyond the regulations that are currently in place. The new proposed regulations are an example of regulatory over-reach and are not needed.
I am pleased and proud of the fact that I never experienced any client complaints during
This is one more example of Americans potentially losing more of their rights to benefit financially in an attempt to convert our capitalist system to communism.
I am against this action to it's core. All American's should have the right to make public investments, not just the so called privileged.
Leveraged fund investments are important investments as they help to enhance
Why would it be a good idea to deny basic freedom, to the public securities market? These days MORE than ever, a fundamental tenant to achieving long-term financial security, should NOT be disavowed to ANYone!!!

I was born and raised in Eastern Europe during the Cold War when the socialist governments were choosing what is allowed for the individuals. USA became my second homeland because of the freedom of the people to conduct their own business. Individual investor should choose their investments, not regulators. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) notice from March 8, 2022, seeking
It is unlawful to restrict the general public from investing in leveraged or inverse funds. These funds, like most equities, carry risk of losing all principal and this is something all investors and traders are aware of with a simple acknowledgement on a disclosure.
