Michael DiNobile Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I feel it should be up to the investor to determine how he or she invest their hard earned money not a regulator. Some investors dont want to own individual stocks. They would rather just play what direction the market is trending at any particular month, quarter or year. These leveraged and inverse funds are extremely important to my investment strategies. I protects me from being exposed to individual companies that make poor choices.

Dear FINRA
I have invested in the VXX many times as I have used this to make money when the market is volatile. I am not a high net worth person but feel strongly that I should continue to have this option. I am aware that it is a higher risk but I am willing to take that risk. I do not believe that you should take that option from me. Thanks for taking my feelings into consideration.

I resent, and am angered by the thought that governing folk, who I did not vote for, would assume power over my rights and freedom to invest my own money as I wish.
Leveraged and inverse funds help protect me from the ravages of governing-caused economic crises, and rampant inflation. The thought of faceless bureaucrats having more control over my personal investing practices annoys me.
As a US citizen, Freedom is meaningful to me, as I wonder how important it is to FINRA regulators.
