Renato Pinheiro Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose limitations on my investments of Leveraged and Inverse ETFs. It is patronizing to think these investments are complex. We investors understand the risk and we can make our own decisions on trading or not! And to even propose only high net worth investors should trade it is ridiculous; what you are trying to do is to only let the rich profit. It is segregationist and against our American principles of equal opportunity to all. All Americans should have the same opportunities to invest regardless of education or net worth!

As an investor, I should be able to invest in any public security I want even if it is a mistake. It's my money and I should be able to use (or waste it) as I want whether or not it unwise. The proposal limits the ability of small-time investors and reserves it only for the highest "elite" of the investment world. There is no clear definition of "complex products" which would allow you too much broad authority to define this term in whatever way you choose, to the detriment of small investors.

I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed upon me.

We need to be able to participate in these kinds of investments in order to catch up what we've lost and manage our futures. I appreciate your attempts to help, but we need to be able to choose our own investments, take our own risks, learn from our mistakes, and benefit from our own risk-taking. I do not want you telling me what I can or cannot do, and I do not appreciate you feeling like you have to protect me from myself. I'm a well-educated, smart, courageous individual and do not need your help in this area.
