To FINRA,
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed restrictions being considered against investment freedom.
It should be obvious from the last two years that growing regulations serve only to stymie economic growth and empower the few in positions of administrative authority. Please put some trust in the discernment of investors who are working in the markets to benefit their clients.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important for my investment strategy. During pandemic it helped me to reduce losses and after that leveraged funds helped me to recover losses. Please do not take away that from individual investors.

Why would you limit my investment choices. Please keep out of limiting my ability to short the market through ProShares. You are unamerican to even consider limiting my choices/

It is unethical for regulators to step in and prohibit investors from investing, especially after selling of securities from the feds and congress due to unethical reasons. I oppose this and will pursue the actions needed to seek a fair market.

I am opposed to changing the process for which Americans can access leverage funds for two main reasons. One, we have the worlds best economic system and limiting her this system makes no sense in regards to keeping us as leaders are on the world stage. Two, the forms already provided to buyers by brokerages and other companies already clearly delineate the products and potential he uses and consequences of using them. There is no need to add more to them since they are already effective.

I have been trading TQQQ, SQQQ, SCO, ZSL etc. and have invested a lot of my savings in them. I want to continue trading them without restrictions.

I am an individual investor, responsible for investing for my own family and retirement. I'm investing in PUBLIC investment vehicles, that currently are (and should REMAIN) available to any investor, and not just privileged hedge fund managers.

I DO NOT consent to having to take or pass any special exam in order to invest a security, which by definition is an act of risking capital in the hopes of a return. Loss, even total loss, is an inherent risk, as is an infinite return. Neither are likely, but they're possible.

I need to have the right to make the investments I choose, not regulators.

I have been investing in leveraged ETFs for over 8 years and fully understand the risks associated. I have traded both the long and short versions. I have both lost money and made money. I believe that all investors should have access and the ability to trade in these. The freedom to choose investments that could
help you achieve long-term financial security is extremely important.

Add my opposition to restricting the sales of these long established securities. I live by ETFs, inverse ETFs and BDCs, which pay high dividends. To make them illiquid by making them unavailable to all is hardly leveling the playing field. It would actually destroy my whole financial plan and portfolio. This is unfair punishment for which no crime has been committed.
