Pinchas Kohler Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I would like to request that FINRA not restrict our ability to purchase leveraged and inverse funds.
Modern Portfolio Theory postulates that our main resource for profit is a function of risk. Almost any investment can have its risk dialed up or down to meet our financial needs.
So, it is prudent to allow all investors the ability to decide for themselves and take personal responsibility for their investment decisions. We cannot decide that one should pick individual stocks instead of leveraged Treasuries or gold for example.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. These instruments should be available to the public, and not just a privileged few. They are an important part of investment strategy that can help me hedge/ protect my stocks investments, and sometimes help me achieve enhanced returns when I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio. I should not have to go through an special process such as passing a test before I can invest in them; I feel the risk in investing in them can be less than investing in individual stocks.

Why on earth would a "regulatory agency" restrict the financial movements of the citizens they allegedly claim to protect? Better said, why do we have these regulatory agencies in the first place? You are restricting the movement of American people to prosper and invest as we see best. WE are responsible for our spending, our investing, and our losses. Keep your sticky fingers out of our business and remove this plague of yours from the public. In other words, take your regulations and go eat rocks! Please and thank you.
