Charlotte Christensen Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. As an older investor who started investing later in life, I use them to seek enhanced returns, and you should never be permitted to take away my right to think for myself and make my own decisions about how, when, and with whom I invest MY money. I shouldn't have to go through any special process or exam test to be able to invest in public securities, and it is patriarchal and arrogant to assume that I am incapable of understanding leveraged and inverse fund and their risks.

The individual investor should be able to choose the public investments that are right for themselves and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. not regulators the regulators should stay out of how the public makes their trading decisions. Perhaps the regulators should look at Members of Congress that trade in insider information instead.

Regulators need to pay more attention to the institution's behaviors and stop penalizing the public. This whole market was designed to steal as much money from the public and you need to start tilting things in our favor instead of against us.
Leveraged and inverse funds are one strategy that should remain available to the public without jumping through hoops. I'm capable of doing my own due diligence and research, and I do not need more regulations to make my life more difficult and costly.
