Ivan Bland Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
Dont control my right to invest in leveraged funds. My risk, my reward. I agree that financial protection is important but it should be done through education not regulations that limit my investing.

It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu, but except rich people. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely affected if passed.
FINRA and the SEC should focus on ensuring investments have proper and detailed disclosures and not policing what I can and cant do. This proposal further alienates individual and retail investors and gives more power and flexibility to institutional investors. Retail investors should have the same access to products and investors as other market participants. Retail investors should be responsible for evaluating risks and determining their own risk appetite.
You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before investing in public securities and inverse funds. I use these funds to offset my other funds when the market goes down.
My opinion is that more regulations and rules imposes more restrictions on traders and more red tape for individual trading.
As a Professional Engineer with a degree in Economics and an MBA, and a regular Voter, I do not want government regulators to limit my opportunities to invest as I see fit.
I am knowledgeable and responsible enough to manage my own affairs without having to qualify, justify or otherwise submit to the lowest common denominator regulations of over regulation.

Don't the rich already have enough privilege as it is? Capitalism and all its functions are by the public, for the public. Systems are known to not last otherwise.

Public investments should be available to everyone.
