Leonel Alvarez Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I don't think it's right to limit access to leveraged products. The people should have the ability to make their own decisions with their own money. Creating barriers to entry based off tests or net worth is why there is huge wealth inequality. In the past only the privileged had access to investing in general and now that we've made so much progress in allowing regular people to invest and have access, you all want to take that away and erode years is progress.

In regards to restricting people's ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I will chose to believe that this is a well intentioned regulation to prevent people who may not know what they are doing from losing big in a down turn. But this also disallows poor people and those who may be just starting out, the potential for higher returns on their investments. This would take away my ability personally to invest in these funds even though I understand them well and have personally benefited greatly from investing in leveraged/inverse funds.

These regulations will more broadly effect individual investors and again give more advantage to institutions which already have significant advantages in the market. It is my decision if I wish to invest in leveraged stocks. You can help educate individuals but to take their decision making away from them is unlawful, Especially when my right to invest is not imposing on the rights of other individuals.
