James Soeby Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
These new proposed regulations seem very un-American. It is our money and our choice and we should be able to invest in the same funds as anybody else.

I should be able to choose to invest in leveraged funds without regulations or restrictions. The risks are plainly stated and easy to understand - it does not require special education or training to be able to understand and use these funds.
Dear law makers, some of us sophisticated investors and we need our options. Please don't try to make the decision for us.
It is an important factor to improve efficiencies by using inversed and leveraged tools. I oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in these public investment. Thank you for your time.
Please do not limit my ability to choose leveraged and inverse funds. Without Wall St. experience or a high net worth, I feel confident I can employ these investment vehicles to meet my investment strategies. In today's world, there is a ton of information at our fingertips. These types of investments are useful as a hedge and also can help boost returns without having to buy an individual stock. Again, these investments are not difficult to understand, and individuals should have the freedom in the United States of America to invest as they see fit.
What is more diabolical? Taking away the ability for everyday anyone's to protect their wealth, and maybe even obtain large gains during a market bear, or not making the knowledge about these products more readily available for the everyday anyone to educate themselves on how to use them properly, and to their best advantage. Or is doing both the most diabolical?
I am aware of all the risks involved. These tools play an important role in my investments. please make it easy for us to use. Thanks.
The rights of individuals to invest any funds they have available in any way they see fit is central to U.S. customary freedom. Investment funds offered through US exchanges are already regulated in may ways. It is not the role of our government to regulate investors. If our government FINRA wants to help consumer investors, work with the FCC to stop the continuous scam barrage through phone land and cell services and online that seeks to separate unwary investors and consumers from their money, and hackers who seek to raid financial resources.
We strongly feel that as an investor buying leveraged & inverse funds should be available to the investor for better returns. After all that is beauty of Stock Market in USA.Please DO Not STOP our right to invest to these funds/ETFs.
Let investors asses their own level of risk when it comes to leveraged investments.
