Frank Commons Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am contacting you to express my opposition to the proposals in Regulatory Notice 22-08. I see no justification for FINRA to restrict public access to any publicly traded financial products, including leveraged EFTs. These securities provide an efficient and economic vehicle for small investors to hedge portfolio risk, a strategy that has now become critical in the aftermath of more than a decade of reckless policies by our Federal Reserve Governors. The current wealth gap in the United States is already at obscene levels.

Thanks for asking investor's feedback.

I understand your concerns regarding the complex products and associated risk. However, I would suggest you leave the decision to the investor, You can play a key role by mandating product providers to disclose all the risks and details about the underlying securities.

I would not expect FINRA to block the product provider to offer any product unless the underlying securities are illegal.

Thanks for spreading awareness.

Me not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on me.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my

I have regularly invested in leveraged funds, both positive and negative. I have found these to be a good source of capital gains over the years. please do not restrict my ability to invest in these instruments by putting roadblocks in the way. understand the risk in leveraged and inverse funds and do not need to be protected. I would rather you spend your time figuring out a way to reduce the time it takes to clear buys and sells to zero days. In today's computerized world, surely this is possible.
