Oranee Tawatnuntachai Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear FINRA,

Your proposed rules for trading leveraged products especially net worth restriction will make rich become richer and poor become poorer. Rich will always have resources to meet regulations while poor will struggle to find time and resources to satisfy the regulations.

You should trust people to make decisions that fit their investment objectives regardless of their net worth.

Let me decide what to trade and invest in, please.

* Leveraged and inverse funds are key parts of my investment strategy.
* They may be complex instruments under the hood, but they have simple, clear investment characteristics, the latter being what is investor facing.
* Leveraged/inverse ETFs and their underlying indexes are SEC approved, so additional regulation is not necessary and would be duplicative.

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 investing in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They allow me to seek enhanced returns as a limited part of my overall portfolio.
