Hannah Yang Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family, including the leveraged and inverse funds. 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 I can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.

Deborah Straus Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

As an adult who has invested for decades, Im well aware of the pitfalls and benefits of investing in leveraged funds. Limiting these funds to only high net worth individuals is further assuring that only high net worth individuals can prosper in the investment world. Havent poorer people been kicked to the curb and prevented from prospering long enough? Havent regulators presumed that poorer people are stupid people long enough? Do not take away the right of adults to invest as they please.
