Taposh Chatterjee Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I personally believe that investor education and knowledge is key to keeping investors safe. All investments should have risks outlined in simple language for investors to understand. However, restricting certain investment to only a select few basically increases market manipulation and puts such power in the hands of some unscrupulous operators. How many times in the history of our markets has a small investor been responsible for a market meltdown or fraud ? Please do not make another tool for the select few. Enact legislation to improve transparency, not decrease access. The stock market is a potent wealth builder when ALL investors get to participate evenly and in a level playing field. Inverse or leveraged products have a role when used sensibly. Leave that to the people please. Improve education and access, not restrict it. Do not restrict inverse and leveraged products to small investors. Thanks, Taposh Chatterjee, M.D
