I realize that you think you need to protect the public. If this is the case why not just restrict all of these types of plans. Putting restrictions in place so that a select few can use these investment vehicles makes it look like you are trying to create a protected class of people that can invest in this way. Don't they already have an advantage because of the way brokers treat them.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am concerned about possible restrictions to retail investors discussed in Notice 22-08. I currently personally use these types of "complex" investments to hedge against things like inflation or recession. These types ETFs make these investments accessible to people who are not institutional investors. I am concerned that the changes discussed will limit these investments to only the rich. This will provide the rich with an additional tool in their toolbox to become even richer, while the middle class will not have access to this tool.

I do oppose restrictions on my right to invest. I should be able to choose the investments that are right for my situation and time frame.

I believe as Americans we have the the right to invest and gain or loss is going to happen. Over regulating is unnecessary because it stifles our options.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investing. I am able to enhance my returns in this market. In turn, this allows me to take reduced risks in the "main" portion of my portfolio, especially to wait in cash until this market bottoms out or settles out. having some sort of imposed "cooling off" period may not allow me to take advantage of market conditions. This aspect I am highly opposed.

I oppose this as I believe I alone should be able to choose the public investment that is right for my myself and my family. I understand leverage and inverse funds and the risks associated because I am capable of making my own financial choices.

why to add more regulations for investments

I would suggest that if you are considering stiffer regulations on leveraged investments, you should take a look in other places where there is nothing but hot air underneath. Netflix, Rivian and hundreds more highly inflated stocks. The problem with that is given your belief that more government is better government would drive you there without that suggestion. These investments give the little guy a shot with less risk that the options market where your money goes away at expiration.

Stay [REDACTED] out of my brokerage account! Period!!

I oppose proposed restrictions which I believe against the spirit of free market philosophy which is essential for liquidity and smooth functioning of markets
