Constantine Georgiadis Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Sirs, I have been made aware of some potential changes in how I might trade equities. I am a retired physician, with no formal training in finance. However, I have trained myself rigorously in order to successfully trade securities and maintain and grow my investments. I rely on many leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my long term investments and manage risk, to acquire income for cost of living expenses, and to grow my financial base.

How about you people stop doing what you want and let us, the people who pay you, to live and earn and be who we want without you stopping us like a grandparent who doesn't see that times have changed. Pathetic. You make simple people like myself want to leave the states we grew up in. And I will be leaving. Like a lot have done before me and many more after. I know you don't care and this probably won't even be read. But we will be gone.

This is not a case in which investors need to be protected by the government or regulators. Leveraged funds are important in these times of low interest rates to generate income for those who wish it. This is actually the safer alternative in many cases. Requiring a "test" in order to purchase certain securities is unnecessary, difficult to implement, and costly to monitor. A simple warning to investors would suffice.
