Louis Hoerner Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am often amazed by the selection of investment vehicles available to the average investor. As seasoned investor with almost 22 years of investing experience, I fully appreciate my freedom to choose which investments I make. Some products in question are a regular part of my well planned investment strategy. I am against the idea of restrictions on investments or requiring additional licensing or certifications to execute my investment strategy.

Dear Sir or Madame, I appreciate you hearing my comments regarding your desire to limit inverse and leveraged funds. First of all, we have a right to participate in the market in this area, since I'm aware that every large brokerage institution (bank) has the ability to short or go long the market. Why would you restrict the ability of the average investor to accomplish the same goals, and that is the protection of our assets. Many investors have been harmed by the buy and hold strategy, and have, in effect, had little or no return on their investments.

Hello. I firmly oppose this FINRA Regulatory Notice. I am the one who should have agency in my financial decisions and it is not up to regulators to only let a certain subset of the population have access. Considering the fact that wealth is a factor, this is showing preferencial treatment for the wealthy and is completely unacceptable. In addition, I should not need to prove to regulators that I already understand the risks of my investments. I have my own risk tolerance and that should not be dictated to me by a third party.

To whom it may concern:
I am writing to express great concern that the FINRA policies under consideration will limit my access to leveraged and inverse funds.
These products are an important part of my investment strategy. With leveraged funds I have flexibility to invest without taking on debt, manage risks against rising or falling markets, and make personal investment decisions on hedging or using long or short-terms strategies.
