Alan Pearlstein Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
Isn't this America, don't we have the right to screw up. Why do you have to protect us when only you are trying to take away more of our freedoms.

I question your intent to control my actions with investments.
There are voting restrictions, family planning restrictions AND now some regulator is considering making investment choices FOR ME. Do I know what I am investing in?
GET OUT OF MY PORTFOLIO CHOICES.
Hello! I am relatively new in my career(just graduated with a degree in Computer Science) and finally have an income of my own to invest. I'm what you would call a self taught investor. Investing has always been my true passion. One of the great things about this time we live in is our ability to learn just about anything thanks to the internet. The individual should be able to choose their investments. This isn't something that should be held to those deemed 'worthy'.
I should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me & my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
I don't need government or regulators to think for me.
I'm an adult and am very capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and the associated risks.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I use leverage and inverse funds, to help me protect (hedge) my investments or seek enhanced returns.
I 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.
Leveraged long and inverse ETFs are a material component in my trading strategies. They are a proven alternative to options, which so often expire worthless. Please do not impose any burdens on our ability to continue trading these securities. The brokerage warnings are more than sufficient to ward off investors that don't understand or appreciate contango/backwardness, leverage risk, etc.
I'm make my own investment decisions without being governed or controlled by regulators. This is an overreach and goes against freedom and liberty, self governance and being able to make ones own choices. It's unAmerican! How dare you try to dictate what, when and how I invest my money or determine what's best for me and my family! These are personal decisions that are frankly none of yours.
Please allow me to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.
This regulation would threaten my financial stability as a consumer. The only way I protected myself against the rise in fuel price has been buying levered gasoline ETF's. Please do not move forward with the rule change. Millions will suffer because they will be stuck to investment options that only their employer can control.
please don't limit my investment options....thank you
