David Lucido Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
I do not do my own investing but have help from my Advisor. I do not want his investments to be limited. I ask that you do not limit our ability to invest in investment instruments at any time.

Let everyone invest
I opposed these restrictions! Everyone one should have the right to choose any public investment they feel is right for them and assume the risk. Limiting the right to invest to only certain groups of people is wrong and creates an unfair advantage! Public investments should be available to ALL of the public, not just the privilege. This is unethical!!
you make sure BD are well regulated to provide adequate information to investors. Do you assume they are not doing their job? If it is a current public investment already okayed by you why shouldnt the regular public have the right to buy it? whether it is for leverage or protection. If we end up with only passive investments there will be no market in the true sense of the word and will just become a sandbox for elite and rich people to play. The market is one of the few places the playing field is relatively equal.
I own ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury as a means of offsetting losses in my bonds as interest rates rise. If I couldn't own TBT, I would have to sell the bonds. This would not be in my best interests.
I only have one issue. If it's 'PUBLIC' stock then I should be able to buy - isn't that what public is? That's all: PUBLIC = PUBLIC // PUBLIC = PRIVATE- make up your mind regulatory - thx for reading.
I am a retail investor and these funds offer me the opportunity to invest in strategies other than long equities. I am also an informed investor. I understand and accept the risks involved. I do not believe that regulation will encourage responsible investing. I do believe regulation will limit retail investor opportunity.
I oppose the restrictions to my right to invest.
