Michael Goldman Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
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.

Hello, I am writing to strongly urge that you do not limit the ability for me and the retail investor to be able to invest, hedge, or trade using these important tools. Removing them would only further divide the uneven playing field between retail and professionals. This would further result in the view that only a select class gets to have access to certain tools and opportunities. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
I use these investments tactically to hedge, and they have been very helpful in mitigating risk and improve returns. I really don't appreciate being treated like a child just because I'm not high net worth. People have a right to make their own decisions. Your only job is to inform people objectively and without hyperbole. Once people have agreed to the risks, it is their responsibility.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest
Every person should be able to choose the kind of investments that he considers right for him and his family. You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST
It could potentially deny the freedom to choose investments that could help you achieve long-term financial security.
I want to have the ability to make my own investment and I oppose any restriction on my right to invest in public investments
Vehemently opposed to new rules
These products you are looking to ban can help investors if a crash comes. All securities involve some kind of risk! Educate instead of legislate
