John Owen Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

There should not be any new restrictions on the purchase of "complex" investments. In my experience the use of professional asset managers have cost my family money the two times we used them. I am perfectly capable of choosing the type of investments that work for my situation. For your information for every dollar I have lost on my inverse fund I made 9 on my other investments. Had the economy gone a different direction the results would have been the opposite. There should not be any new qualifications for people, in order to buy certain investments.

I not 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 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 you.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. It is my responsibility to know the risks and allocate my position sizes accordingly. It is not the government's job to do this for me or to place unnecessary administrative tasks in the process.

Leveraged funds are a useful part of my investing strategy and have benefitted my investing results. I do not use these funds to proxy Las Vegas or the Lottery.
