Jeffrey Yonker Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear FINRA regulators,
I want to make it clear that I am against you deciding what I can invest in and what I cannot. I understand you are considering stopping me from investing in leveraged funds. I understand some people may not understand how these funds work, but I know both the risk and opportunity, and those risks are made clear by the fund owners and by Fidelity through whom I invest in them. Please drop this unnecessary legislation.

I've been investing for the last 21 years (since I was 19 years old). I am now 40 years old with two kids, seven and four.

I am capable of making my own investment decisions.

Leveraged and inverse funds help me execute on strategies that I have developed over my career as an investor. They are liquid, they are convenient, and they are safe with people who know how to use them.

Restricting or banning leveraged and inverse funds would be like banning kitchen knives because they are not safe.

To whom it may concern;

I strongly oppose the proposed restrictions to certain public investments deemed too "complex" for a number of different reasons.

First and foremost, I value freedom. I do not want my freedom to access and invest in a broad range of investment products to be restricted. Public investments should be available to the public and not just a privileged few who are deemed worthy by a regulatory body.
