Wanchun Hou Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
I oppose limitations on my investments. The limitations can hurt me. It could deny me the freedom to choose investments that can help me achieve long-term financial security.

The risks of investing are well known. Loss of capital is always possible. The risks of investing in leveraged and inverse funds are equivalent. As an investor, I don't need the government to tell me what I may or may not invest in. Your duty is not to protect me from myself, or from possibly poor decisions I may make. At the limit, your duty may be to inform me of risks, but beyond that, it is up to me to invest as I see fit. PLEASE DO NOT RESTRICT MY RIGHTS.
This makes absolutely no sense to limit and create such a hurdle regarding leveraged and inverse funds. Investments have risks associated with them, and the funds' and ETFs' prospectuses clearly show and demonstrate the risks associated to them. There is no difference than buying a regular fund on margin to mimic the leveraged return. Let investors invest how we'd like.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST leveraged funds.
I have been investing for some time mostly with successful results. I believe in the right of the individual to make financial decisions based on personal situations percolated with diligent research that can be done without interference. Please preserve my rights to purchase any investment vehicle that is not illegal our aq scam.
I am against the idea of regulating individuals' freedom to invest in whatever they want.
Let me invest!!
I feel that the move to restrict access to leveraged and inverse funds is a wrong one. Such a restriction would devoid the retail investor from access to quality instruments that could be significantly beneficial. Several academic studies have underlined the importance of leverage. The LifeCycle Investment from Yale is one such example. These leveraged and inverse funds provide a simple option for investors looking to incorporate strategies from these well researched academic studies as part of their portfolio.
To whom it may concern,
I oppose restrictions on my right as a US citizen to invest in PUBLIC investments as this SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 is trying to do. As an investor, I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me & my family. Public investments are just that - investments that need to be available to ALL of the public, not just those who have large portfolios or who can obtain special approvals to obtain them.
In general:
- It's good to have people educated and understanding what they are dealing with.
- It's extremely bad to restrict people's right of making their own decisions.
