Eugene Brinkley Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I'm writing in opposition to proposed rules that would limit the public investor from investing in inverse and leveraged funds. I find it insulting that you feel you know better than the investor how to best analyze risks and formulate investment strategy. I feel that I, as well as most retail investors are perfectly capable of making investment decisions including using such funds in hedging strategies or for enhanced returns without govn't interference or "protection". I should not have to prove my prowess to any regulators before investing in any public securities. Thank You
