John Cormie Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am a modest net worth investor but am familiar with so-called hedge funds.
I have used such funds to provide some hedging to my investment portfolio and consider them a key part of my financial planning.
A policy that tries to eliminate risk from investment decisions is doomed to failure and will, inevitably, create negative consequences.
I oppose restrictions to my right to make my own investment decisions.

We should be able to choose the public investments that are best for us. Leveraged and inverse funds are important for our
investment strategies. A "cooling off" period destroys such strategies and causes unnecessary sales and other "knock-on" financial consequences. The existing extremely high margin requirements are sufficient for ensuring that those with margin accounts maintain solvency. We do not need more regulation in this area.

I, and not the regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.

It's really time for the "Big Brother" to move on from your ill advised attempt to save the peons from themselves.

If a person is not capable of making prudent decisions in their life, including what to invest in, is it the government's job in a democratic, free society to save them from their own stupidity? I think not and don't think that was the Founding Fathers intention in the constitution. States rights, limited federal government, the right to free speech, the right to think and act to control your own destiny.
