David Krumholz Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

If this regulation is necessary why wouldn't every investment require a similar set of regulations? Why not a test for every investment - including the US Dollar? I would much prefer that you mandated a test for the right to vote. BTW - I also know that if I spill burning hot coffee on myself it will hurt. Do we need to add a detachable form to hot-cups acknowledging the purchaser's understanding of the dangers that may be hidden inside if the cup is sufficiently weighty that one might expect it to contain a hot liquid?

Ricardo Castro Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Please understand the consequences of the proposed rule, I need flexibility on investment opportunities and this rule could stop my ability to determine my own investing strategy. I don't need a certification to make the right decision on how I should invest my own money. My money, my risk, no need for anyone else to be involved. Please do not overact because some people play the market and lose their money, the risks are clearly spell out and pretending ignorance when losing money cannot be accepted. Thank you!

While investor restrictions/limitations with regard to leveraged funds might appear to somehow help investors (I guess protecting them from themselves), it would actually hurt me and others that I know. I am not a high wealth individual but have taken the time to learn how all ETFs work, including leveraged funds. They have become an important element of my investment strategy. I do not need this protection- it would only harm me.

I do not support regulators imposing unnecessary burdens on investors that limit our ability to access publicly traded securities. This is a push from special interests to drive business to them and limit the ability of individuals to make investments as they see fit. Leveraged ETFs are a small part of my portfolio and are used to enhance returns. I am fully aware of the risks of the compounding negative returns. We do not need the government vetting investors. This is overreach and unreasonable.
