Charlene Taylor Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

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.

As a small business owner and someone who enjoys directing my own investments, I want to comment on the proposed regulation of leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged funds make up a small, but important part, of my investment strategy. These funds are not difficult to understand nor are their potential risks and benefits. My investment strategy is conservative but leveraged funds give me an opportunity to enhance returns and take measured and calculated risks.

Markets are made up by 2 sides and investors should have the freedom to choose to stand on either side of an investment, whether it's on forecast of high demand or low demand. That's the definition of a free market.

In terms of leverage I support that brokerage be very clear in its warning about the high risk potential of such investment tools, but once investor opts in it's a sign-off on accepting such a risk at his/her own benefit and/or peril. Do retail investors have to ask to be treated as functioning adults?

Please do not make it difficult or prevent me from investing in public securities, like leveraged or inverse funds. I am capable of understanding these funds and the associated risks on my own and do not want more regulations. Please review all existing regulations for opportunities to eliminate regulations that do not serve the public interest and contribute to waste in business, government and people lives.
