Noel Jimenez Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Message to regulators; As an investor, I am totally opposed to restricting my rights to invest or make public investments. Also, as an investor, no one decides more than me which public investmens are suitable for my financial goals. Public investmens must also available to the public and not only to the privileged. In addition, as an investor, I do not have to go through a special process, such as passing a tes before being able to invest in public securities, as an investor an based on my investment strategies, I know the risk involved.

I should be able to spend, invest and allocate my own capital as I see fit without any interference from an outside regulatory authority. All investments are risky in nature and it is my responsibility to conduct my own research on each investment. There is enough information and regulations in place to protect me as investor to allow me to make an inform decision based on the public information given and my understanding of that information. Thats the inherent risk I take when investing.

We should be able to choose the investments that are right for us. Being a free country, public investments should be available to all the public, not just the privileged. It is the liquidity of public investments and various investment products that keep the money flow and grow in the striving market.

We shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.

As a stay-at-home mom, I use certain leveraged funds (like UPRO and TQQQ) to enhance my portfolio and contribute to the financial needs of my family, all while being able to spend time with and raise my children. These are only a portion of our overall portfolio. I have done the research and feel that I am capable of making all the investment decisions for my family and should not be subjected to further tests or restrictions. Also, to limit these investments to certain people or groups is wrong. They are public investments and should be available to ALL THE PUBLIC.
