Steven Holland Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I highly value the ability to invest in levered and complex products. They are an important component of my self-directed portfolio. They allow me to access investment strategies that would be too difficult or impossible to replicate on my own. I use them primarily as a hedging/risk reduction tool. I believe strongly that preventing by regulation the ability of individual investors to invest in these products would be wrong and misguided. Education is key, not unfair regulation.

I oppose restrictions to my right of investment in the stock market.
1. As an experienced investor of 25 years, I have adequate knowledge of investing in public securities, including leveraged and inverse funds. No special test should be imposed on me before I can do business in stock investments.
2. I am able to choose which public investments that are suitable for me and my family. I have the freedom and right to do business in stock investment, just like all the other famous investors, e.g. Warren Buffett.

Writing this to let you know that I oppose the restrictions being considered to leveraged and inverse funds.

I like having these funds available to help with risk mitigation of my stock portfolio and to take measured exposure to offset growing inflation costs.

I am familiar with the inherent risks of using these funds and don't want to be forced to take a test to continue to use them or to have them eliminated to small investors like myself.

Thanks for considering my opinion.
