Keith Vierbicky Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear Regulators, I've been investing for over 20 years. I've used inverse funds in my IRAs when the market was pulling back because I'm not allowed to sell short in those accounts. I've used leveraged funds to increase the opportunity to make good profits at times. To limit me from doing either of these two investment vehicles hampers my ability to compete fairly. That's why I'm against the restrictions you oppose.

William Dixon Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

As an investor I want and deserve the freedom to make my own choices about assets in which I invest. The SEC should not be taking on the role of "big brother" to oversee and perhaps overrule the decisions of millions of investors. Many of the decisions that all Americans make carry risks even greater than our investments. For example, the person we choose to marry or our career choices, even where we choose to live. As Americans we enjoy freedom to make choices and mistakes and to live with the consequences. What rule number S720 415 proposes to do is to deprive us of that very freedom.

I wanted to voice my opposition to SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15. As a consumer and investorI feel it is might right to choose investments that I have researched and vetted while being free of regulatory restrictions. The SEC needs to understand that with the Internet people are more informed than in the history of investing in the United States and are able to make informed decisions without having to pass any hurdles that would restrict investing. Leveraged and inverse investments are part of my overall investment strategy to hedge during economic downturns.
