Corbin Reeder Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
These regulations sound like they are trying to keep people out to benefit a few and cause barriers to entry rather than educate/protect new investors in many of the markets described.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in all public investements.
I believe that restricting access to these investments what hurt far more people than just allowing the risk to be there. I believe the majority of investors understand that funds that offer higher returns come with higher risk. It is already made clear in the prospectuses of every fund. Please let us make our own decisions. Many of us have been in these funds for years and they are an important part of our financial planning. Please don't cause a worse harm by disallowing access to them.
Leveraged and inverse funds should be available to anyone looking to make investments without restriction. The risks associated with such products are not uniquely difficult to understand and they enable a wide array of hedging strategies for individual investors at all levels of risk tolerance. Making these products more difficult to obtain would be a great disservice to individual investors.
Please allow investors to make their own choices when it comes to risks they take. Regulating these funds will not significantly impact market stability, there is no reason to do it.
I object to limitations on my investments. In a free society I have the right to invest my assets in the vehicles of my choosing. I understand risk and reward and should be free to try tocreate a better future for myself and my family. Restrictions on this ability are un-American if not unconstitutional.
Leave our investment opportunities alone and as they are
, you are overstepping.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest my money as I see fit.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me.Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, such as leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
Investors are already warned enough on leveraged ETFs that there is no reason for additional regulations and warnings for individual retail investors.
I can make up my own mind on what I want to invest in. I don't need anyone's "protection". Thank you for you attention.
