Drake Gomez Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority: I stand strongly opposed to regulatory efforts that limit my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. As a non-professional investor, I am nonetheless capable of understanding the risks of leveraged and inverse funds, and have used these funds prudently to diversify my portfolio. I do not need government oversight of how I invest my money, nor do I think it is equitable and fair to limit who can or cannot invest in these funds (such as, on the basis of net worth).

This is class warfare, plain and simple. I oppose any restriction to my right to invest. Public investments should be available to all of the public. There should be no special processes, tests, or approval in order to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. Basically, too many average Joes saw this [REDACTED] of a market crash coming and decided to hedge like smart investors, but now that's really going to make all the crime you want to commit a whole lot harder, right? Do you know what happens when you corner a frightened animal? We the People see You.

This is so much of another government over reach. My money is my investment. Any way I chose to invest it. This proposed bill is just about as unconstitutional as it gets! There are many ways to lose money on investments: penny stocks, SPAC's, the general stock market alone, shady brokers/financial advisors running ponzi schemes, and many more ways. Are you going to start putting sanctions or restrictions on every shady investment? I do the research for my investments or talk with a legitimate advisor. I believe most investors do this too. This bill is going to ruin individual investing!
