Analyn Sahachaisere Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To whom it may concern, I am writing to inform you, as an investor that I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I don't want to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds. I do not need these measures imposed on me. These restrictions on my right to invest should not be put in place.

Leveraged and inverse ETFs are no more dangerous that buying high volatility stocks and options. They have a significant advantage over other options to increase return volatility. They keep consistent leverage (unlike options/futures) and they consist of a broad market portfolio (unlike individual stocks). By restricting the purchase of leveraged/inverse ETFs, people who wish to pursue more aggressive investment strategies will have to use worse products, causing them to take more risk than if the products were available.

Individual Investors have the ability to make sound decisions right for us for personally & family. Leveraged and Inverse funds just like the name states, is easily understood and expressive. NO MORE requirements should be placed. An investment strategy should have risk mitigation (Inverse fund) and opportunity to gain (Leverage) Law makers should fix Loop holes for Hedge funds, and Billionaire's, NOT interfere with INDIVIDUAL RETIREES

Dear Sirs, I have been trading leveraged etfs for many years. Before that I had traded futures which I found to be very dangerous, much more so than etf. I did not really own the futures because they had an expiration date and because the leveredge was so high that they were subject to being automatically liquidated by the broker with a margin call. With etfs a least you own the shares , there is a slight decay in value over time though. But the benefits can far outweigh the slight loss of value long term.

I have worked very hard to invest the way I choose. I am a Self-Directed Hedge Fund that invests in Securities WITH ZERO MARGIN. These funds would be / and are now a limited part of my overall portfolio. I completely understand all risks involved with these funds. And have been thru the 2008 S&L crisis. We follow Warren Buffett and adhere to his conservative principles. These funds as they are are able to give me leverage without buying and selling constantly. we are LONG TERM INVESTORS.
