Brian Dolan Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I need the ability to freely invest in whatever is best for my family and our future. Increased regulations that make it more complicated or restrictive is unfair to individual investors. I can understand leveraged and inversed funds and should be able to invest in them if I choose. The term "comolex products" used in the proposed regulation is very vague. Regulators shouldn't be able to decide that I can't invest in something.

Inverse fund products provide a necessary alternative to shorting an over-valued security while minimizing the risk with a direct short of a security. Additionally, leveraged products are an alternative to margining ones account, which can lead to margin calls. Lastly, most brokerages have internal controls to limit individual's exposure to any risks that may be associated with leveraged products; additional external regulations are not necessary.

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
