Patrick McMichael Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!

Individual freedom is important. Seat belt rules should be kept to the absolute bare minimum possible (if at all).

Making it harder to invest in these classes of investments just exacerbates the problems we have with the disparity between ordinary people and professional investors.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important strategies, do not prevent people like me from being able to utilize them, especially during periods of volatility and uncertainty like the current environment.

This proposed regulation stands against the very notion of what it is to be American. Investing is an activity that has always been performed at one's own risk - nannying investors with onerous regulations, that at this point are unclear and establishing gateways to access these products that includes high net worth is classist and discriminatory. Everyone should have equal access to all products and invest in the ones they choose, not the ones they are approved for, comrade.

So Investments are too complex for us "regular" people? Discrimination much? Investments are only for those with a high net worth? Discrimination much? It's 2022, the time where we all talk about discrimination and how we can fix it. Well with what's been coming out of lawmakers hands in 2022, has been fueling the discrimination fire. I started investing in 2021 when CoinBase was getting super popular to use. I got into normal stock market investments using my Stash app. Now how much money did I make or loss? That's for me to know ;) BUT It was easy to understand. Nothing too complex.
