James A Blissit Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

N/A
Investors should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. 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.

Pietro Perrone Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Hello,

I oppose the restrictions to my right to invest. The proper use of leveraged products is a key part of my financial plan. I run a systematic quarterly rebalancing plan that is powered by leveraged ETFs which I have used successfully for several years. These funds are important to me as they improve my performance over the long term. I am not engaged in reckless trading, and I understand the effect of daily magnification of an indexs price movement. I use this magnification to my advantage.

I have utilized Leveraged and Inverse funds successfully for many years. I prefer them because as a self-directed investor, I am able to select funds which reflect an area of interest in small increments rather than invest large sums in non-leveraged funds. In this way I don't risk as much of my own capital--therefore preserving my hard earned capital. During downturns in the market Inverse funds are in place to modulate losses.

I have been investing in leveraged ETFs and leveraged mutual funds for more than 20 years. These securities have been a valuable component of my investment strategy, and I don't think the FINRA should be limiting their use in order to "protect" investors like myself who are knowledgeable about their risks and rewards. I do not want any regulators to limiting my investment choices. I am an adult...treat me and others like me like adults.
