Christopher Braak Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
I support increasing regulatory scrutiny of complex investment interests to prevent powerful financial interests from using them to scam ordinary investors.

I believe as an investor I should not be limited to certain funds while others are allowed to use them. This bill is simply another example of law makers giving the upper hand to Wealthy investors only
Investors should have the ability to research and then make their own investment decisions with inverse/leverage to help hedge risks.
I use and fully understand the risks of ETFs which short the market. I need these to protect my principal in down markets.
Please stop prohibiting our only way to involve into future markets
I would like to keep my ability to use leveraged funds.
I have been investing for 12 years on my own. Throughout this time I have had to deal with various incidents of government officials trying to "protect me" by restricting what I can and can not trade on the markets. Well guess what IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS WHAT I DO WITH MY MONEY! Restricting complex products is quite frankly not your job. If I want to buy them it is my choice. If I lose money then so be it. These may or may not fit into my investing strategy but it is my right to make this choice.
Please all of these products were approved by you all. What people do not understand should not penalize those that do!
We people have the right to invest!
Leveraged and inverse funds are important for the public. Please do not add excessive regulatory burdens to these investment opportunities.
