Christopher Coleman Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

"Normal" investors should be able to continue investing in leveraged and inverse funds. There ae already warnings in place for most (all?) trading platforms warning of the risks. That should be the extent of the regulation (continuing to place a warning when placing trades in such funds).

Changing the regulation has the potential to significantly harm current investors if they have to divest of the funds when in a loss position.

Dear Regulators, (FINRA)
I understand my investments and the risk involved in my trads. I should not have to go through any special process before investing in public securities. The fund I am in allows trades for up markets and down markets which allows me to make up my loss if any by shorting different funds. Like today's market, I have been able to make money for my IRA instead of losing 10-20 or 30%. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

It is not acceptable to block investment opportunities from the everyday investor. Placing a literacy test into the mix will not ensure fiscal responsibility, and it could block investors with test anxiety, dyslexia, or other testing issues. Blocking users without a high net worth further disenfranchises those trying to earn wealth and will increase the wealth gap. Im appalled by the outright arrogance of this type of regulation.

The government needs to focus on curbing government caused inflation. The governments insistence in creating legislation to limit investments that allow growth and the ability to maintain and grow my retirement is ever challenged. As a retired individual I have a fiduciary responsibility to myself to seek opportunities to maintain and grow my retirement. I am not rich, but I want to be able to live out my life under my own resources. With todays inflation, Social Security payments are shrunk based on the devaluation of our dollars.
