Dale Babcock Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I would like to submit a public comment on possible restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Especially leveraged and inverse funds.

By way of introduction, I am 60 years old, and make most all of the financial decisions in my household. I am an active investor in stocks, funds, bonds, emerging markets, and crypto. Basically, I trade in multiple and varied securities, and run my personal portfolio much like any investment broker.

Dear FINRA regulators,

Private investors should have the right to choose to invest in funds that are a good fit for their investment objectives. It is unfair to eliminate the ability to invest in leveraged funds for the investing public, especially since many of these funds have a proven track record of protecting investment portfolios when used the right way.

If an investor chooses to be irresponsible, it does not matter if they invest in a leveraged fund or unleveraged fund - they will find a way to lose money.
