Gladys Lopez Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am vehemently opposed to restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged instruments. These leverage instruments help to hedge my portfolio. These restrictions are contrary to open markets and capitalism. It should be up to the investor to research and understand risks and not the nanny state! The investor and not the regulator should be the one to determine what kind of investment is right for him/her; furthermore, no regulations should be created to impede the public investment choice of investors. Public investments should not be just for the privileged, but for everyone.

Please repeal this unreasonable and outrageous regulation. Most retail investors, including myself, know exactly what we are doing and should not have to go through complicated process - we simply do not need these measures imposed on us. Imposing ridiculous regulations on everyone is simply not acceptable, and we are not ok with liquidating our funds in times like these. Just the fact I have not sold any of my positions in leveraged ETFs should give a clear clue that I know exactly what I am doing and I have stable income to continue dollar cost averaging.

I oppose limitations on leveraged an inverse products.

These products are an important part of my portfolio and are useful tools for securing my long-term financial security.

Furthermore, these don't represent an outsized risk compared to idiosyncratic risk associated with investing in (or short-sellijg) individual stocks -- yet they already carry an *abundantly clear* warning -- including both the "review" page to get more information about these ETPs as well as on the trade confirmation trade.
