Jurgen Dopatka Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I do not need a regulator to tell me what I can invest in or not, unless there is clear evidence that there is insufficient market competition, market failure or market inefficiency. I use a portion of leveraged funds to either hedge my overall portfolio, or to enhance my returns, depending on where the market stands at a given time. As an almost-fulltime personal investor, I am well-versed in the workings of the market and its investment vehicles, and don't need a regulator to work on my behalf, at the risk of possibly interfering with or inhibit my results.

To whom it may concern,

Please stop trying to tie the hands of lawful citizens trying to improve their lives by freely investing in the financial markets that have turn the United States into the greatest creator of wealth the world has ever seen. Your proposed regulations would harm working class Americans and raise costs for everyone all because you cant stand not having power over an area of the economy. Kindly back off and focus your efforts on how you can spend your budget more efficiently and cut costs so that taxpayer money can be put to better use.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I am able to invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I have been capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Perhaps you want to impose these on new investors, however, I do not need these measures imposed on me and it would take away a ton of tax revenue if this activity was limited.
