Sheryl Perry Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am an individual investor directing my own portfolios. The right to choose the investment vehicles that I deem best for me and my investment goals, risk tolerance, and interests should be sacrosanct. If I wish to invest in public securities such as leveraged and inverse funds, cryptocurrency funds, etc., doing so should be my choice without regulators dictating to me, requiring special testing or other bars to investment. Public investments should be something every person, not just privileged or politically-connected people, can decide for themselves to use.

Who does the government think they are to determine what public investments I as an individual Im allowed to make? All investments have been vetted by regulatory commissions and are valid, legal, investment instruments that have been made available for decades. The idea that you would impose conditions upon which a private individual can make an investment is essentially communism and entirely illegal for the government to impose. The idea of requiring tests, or cooling off periods, Are far outside of the scope of any regulatory body. What will you do next?

Greetings,
I hope to be able to choose the public investments without restriction, and no need to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities including leveraged and inverse funds. I fully understand the risk of those leveraged and inverse funds. Please do not impose additional rules or measure.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to protect (hedge) my investment and I tend to use them as a limited part of my investment portfolio.

I have traded these products for thirty years. I understand the risks and rewards.These products are needed for liquidity, price discovery and hedging. The volume of these products clearly shows that they are needed. Investments must be available to all members of the public, not just to s select few, selected by some arbitrary process. A signed document, in the customers account file, that explains the risks is enough to allow individuals the opportunity to trade these products.
