Walter Krouson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am totally opposed to the Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 for the following reasons: 1. I am a small investor that has invested in leverage funds for greater than 20 years and am quite capable of understanding the risks of using leverage funds. In fact, I find it offensive that a regulator would question my knowledge of the market by using some gimmick like passing a special test related to my understanding of the pit falls of leverage funds. 2. Because I am a small investor, I prefer not to short stocks.

I strongly oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I should be able to choos the public investments that are right for myself. Why are you all even considering making us go through a special process and placing these kinds of restrictions in general. I don't have much. I am a hardworking young lady just trying to make a place for myself in this world. I should be able to use my hard earned money to invest in the way that I choose. This is America. I am just trying to have the American dream. Please please please do not place these restrictions on us. I beg you please!!

Leveraged and Unleveraged etf have been used to hedge against the downward market trend for a while not only by sophisticated user but the likes of people who actively manage there brokerage account. Taking it away would not only provide less tools for a retail investor like me but also only benefit only the rich who qualify as accredited investors. There are simply not many options for retail investors to obtain hedges without investing too much money.

I oppose the proposed restrictions to accessing leveraged ETFs. Creating a two tier system for wealthy elites verses main street investors is not acceptable. It would be wholly inappropriate to force investors out of leveraged positions during a major market correction simply because the SEC has deemed poor people as idiots. I am disgusted with the SEC's pervasive attitude that main street investors don't understand how to manage leverage. The fact the SEC continues to pursue limitations to expand the "qualified investor" concept just makes it look like the SEC is trying to rig the system.

Dear Sir/Madam: I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all, not just a chose few. Matter-of-fact, I think we should abolish the current Initial Public Offering process and democratize that process like it is done by the largest democracy on the planet, India. In India, an IPO is open to every common man who is interested in the IPO. She/he just needs to submit an application at the local bank and show that she has funds for however many shares she is applying for.
