Carlton String Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Are you kidding? I'm an accredited investor, who has made 20% of my portfolio in (DDM), buying it on the dips, and riding it up over the past 15 years. You allow people to buy plenty of other products they no NOTHING about. Sometimes on Margin, but you want to limit my choice to invest in leveraged products? This makes NO SENSE, there are so many other products that are much more dangerous. And it's my money to invest in however I want!!!

We need less regulations, not more. This is just another plot to hurt me and other individual investors, and hand over more control to the wealthy. Let me decide what is in my best interest-not those who want to control the market. It would be a disaster to make this type on change at this time. I have been an investor all my adult life, and do not want to be controlled now by this change in regulation. Scrap it NOW!

As a regular investor I educate myself and use a wide variety of funds to invest in the public markets. Leveraged and Inverse funds provide tools which help me to complete on a more level playing field with professionals, hedge funds and bankers. I need all the help I can get playing against the big boys/girls and taking these fund types away will make it harder for me, the average investor. If you are going to spend time/money protecting the regular investor please focus on frauds and work with the SEC to enforce the rules.

I should be able to choose any public investment, without regulators controlling my ability to invest! Restricting investment opportunities, for only the privileged and already high net worth individuals is entirely unfair and does not bode well for our free market.

If an investor is capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds they should be allowed to invest as they wish and take on the risks as well.

Although, leveraged and inverse funds are only a small portion of my familys investments, they are an important tool we use as part of our investment portfolio.
