Yoshitaka Tatsumi Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose restrictions on my rights to invest due to the following reason. As an investor, I am entitled to make my own decisions to invest in a broad range of public securities designated as complex products by FINRA. It is up to the investors, not up to the government to decide if investing is necessary. The investors should have full access to their rights and responsibility regarding this matter.

Please allow personal investors to buy these type of public investments without putting up roadblocks based on bureaucratic rules with no basis in facts. I have invested in inverse funds and derivatives for over 20 years and have averaged at least an annual return on my investments of 11%. In times of bear markets, leveraged and inverse funds are a great tool to get a positive return on your investments. It is my money to invest not the governments and I will be responsible with it unlike the federal government which is over 30 trillion in debt and climbing.

I am contacting you to express my opposition to the proposals in Regulatory Notice 22-08. I see no justification for FINRA to restrict public access to any publicly traded financial products, including leveraged EFTs. These securities provide an efficient and economic vehicle for small investors to hedge portfolio risk, a strategy that has now become critical in the aftermath of more than a decade of reckless policies by our Federal Reserve Governors. The current wealth gap in the United States is already at obscene levels.

Thanks for asking investor's feedback.

I understand your concerns regarding the complex products and associated risk. However, I would suggest you leave the decision to the investor, You can play a key role by mandating product providers to disclose all the risks and details about the underlying securities.

I would not expect FINRA to block the product provider to offer any product unless the underlying securities are illegal.

Thanks for spreading awareness.
