I am currently using the SQQQ and SPXU 3x leveraged inverse funds to protect my stock portfolio during this market downturn. The SPY is down 14.11% and the QQQ is down 23.64% from their highs. My stock portfolio is down only 12.18% from my high. The 3x leverage allowed me to start later from the highs and use less funds for portfolio protection. Otherwise I would have had to sell more of my stocks and be less ready for positive growth when the market begins an upturn.

Let the onus fall on the investor to learn the risks of any investment strategy before investing. We don't need more regulation.

Dear FINRA,

I have recently been made aware of the FINRA proposed rule #22-08, and it has me concerned for investors for the following reasons listed below. In summary, I believe if this rule is codified it will hurt investors more than help investors, will hurt the economy around investing in America, and is simply against the freedoms granted to us as being an American citizen.

I am writing to inform you that I oppose this regulatory proposal to limit access to leveraged and inverse funds. I feel that retail investors like myself are more than capable of understanding the technicals and risks of leveraged and inverse etfs. Restricting trading of these equities is a violates the principles of the free market.

I reject the idea of anyone else, besides me, that can tell me what type of stocks I can buy. Period.

Rights need to remain with the individual, not the regulators, who have more power than I'd like, and do not want to see their power grow.

I feel that we need to fight to preserve our right to invest without being encumbered by excessive regulations and penalties.

Is it not bad enough that the government has to be greedy and take everything else from Americans along with charging taxes and then take what they do get to line their own pockets or pay for illegal immigrants? Government needs to keep their hands off the American people's money.

We should be able to do what ever you want to go do

I am opposed to restricting my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds (used to hedge other funds)

All people have a right to invest!!!!
