David McCready Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I vehemently oppose any restrictions you are considering on my right to invest in leverage funds and inverse funds. Let ME decide...don't decide for me. Don't discriminate against me if don't meet your criteria.

And don't make me go through a special test. I'm a big boy and can make my own decisions. I have made it all the way to 60 years of age without your hand holding. Stop trying to be big brother...and no, you're not looking after my best interests.

I strongly subject to regulators determining how and where I should be allowed to invest my own money. I have 4 college degrees, 2 bachelor degrees 2 masters degrees including an MBA. I run $100 million multi state company managing an endowment in excess of $50 million. It doesnt seem necessary or appropriate for regulators to make a blanket determination that personal investors should be required to pass tests and seek permission to engage in the legal act of spending and investing their money the way that they choose.

Enough of this Nanny State regulation! Anyone investing in inverse and and leveraged funds knows they risk losing money the same as there is a risk with most investments. My biggest losses have been to taxes, sleazy lawyers, and government corruption over the years. Regulate the banks, brokers, lawyers, judges, Federal and local governments if you care about making life better for the average citizen.
