Richard Gordon Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have personally been an investor for years and utilise leveraged investment products to boost my returns. I know the risks involved and choose to use a small portion of my overall money invested in these products to supplement standard, non-leveraged mutual and exchange traded funds. The leveraged funds are already regulated and restricted to have limited offerings. Taking away more freedom to invest in what is available feels like my rights and freedoms are being removed. More regulation is not needed.

Stop trying to control individual ability to participate in public markets. You show yourselves to be autocrats fighting to maintain an imbalanced and tiered society when you limit access to the wide world of available financial products and strategies. FINRA is not a government agency. Congress and the SEC should not being delegating their authority over markets to a cartel lobbyist group like FINRA.

I believe in a free market. What this democratic country is about. I understand the risks associated with leverage investments, I believe e it is unfair and wrong to limit our freedom to invest, especially with inverse etfs. It is up to me to decide the risk I am willing to take. To impede me from investing in inverse etfs in the start of a bear market is not fair. It goes against the principles this country is based on. Please do not change the rules that impact contrarian investors.

The only thing this rule does is protect the investor/white collar class and restrict the freedom of small investors that have an education, such as a double major in banking and financial institutions (like me), but not cooperate sponsorship nor high net worth. They're going to have all of the resources to meet those requirements, which means they're most likely to be irresponsible, since it's not their money. Please do not change these rules in this way.
