David Lewis Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It is my understanding that regulations are being considered that would severely limit my ability to invest in leveraged products or at least require me to jump through regulatory hoops and tests in order to invest. I am opposed to further restrictions beyond what currently exist for leveraged products, particularly ETFs which is how I normally invest.

Leverage products are a very minor part of my portfolio, but i would like to continue with these products without being hampered by additional regulation. Thanks for listening.

Investors don't need these regulations. We understand that investing in financial markets can be risky. They can be appropriate in certain circumstances, and we can decide on our own where we want to invest. Passing a test or any other special process will only favor the "big boys" over individual investors. I use leveraged funds as a small part of my overall portfolio, and I feel the rewards outweigh the risks. I don't need the government's "help" - I just want to be free to make my own decisions.
