Mark Meeks Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
Stop the over regulation. Allow investors to be responsible for their own actions. Bad investment decisions are self correcting.

I should be able to choose what investments I want,not be told how or where to invest!!!
For 10 years, I have held ProShares Ultra-pro short and Pro-short Funds. If you disallow investors from buying these funds, the value of these funds will evaporate since very few will be buying them. So I won't be able to sell them. I will lose everything. I appreciate your intentions and agree with them to some extent, but a sudden drastic refusal to let them be traded will severly damage all of us who already own and need to sell them to someone else.
Leveraged funds are an important part of my overall investment strategy. Restricting my access to them would jeopardize me and my families financially future
I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments such as leveraged and inverse funds. I use these funds as a hedge to help diversify and protect my other investments. Im concerned that government intervention in these financial instruments will destroy their ability to provide safety and protection to my investment portfolio.
we are retired and want the ablility to invest in leveraged funds and we should have the right to invest as we determine --we don't need your advice or restrictions or spend tax money to regulate our retirement IRAs
I have invested in leveraged etfs since 2012.
I am a seasoned investor of over 50 years. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. And I do not
need these measures imposed on me when I use them to help with investments or seek enhanced returns
on a very limited part of my overall portfolio.
I strongly support allowing non-Accredited investors to invest in private companies and complex investments. If investor protections are needed for non sophisticated investors, they MUST allow a reasonable method for non-wealthy investors to show expertise and make these Investments!
Restricting complex Investments only to the wealthy and registered Investment Advisors is not acceptable in a democratic society!
I find the possible regulation of my ability to access the entirety of the public securities markets without restriction alarming. I am capable of making sound investment decisions for myself and my family. I am also educated and capable of understanding the risk and ins and outs of investing in inverse and leveraged ETF funds. I do not support these regulations. They are discriminatory and are in direct violation of my rights. It restricts my ability to receive enhanced returns on smaller investments.
