Chad Heacock Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I recommend that you regulators and government nanny-state bureaucrats read the Gulag Archipelago and some Malcom Muggeridge while your at it. Your premise is a repudiation of the basic reality that it is to be human. Any human authority is suspect because it is human. Our freedom to win and lose, choose the good or the bad, (accept the a priori reality that such words define reality), succeed or fail is what makes us most like God. The more you oversee, protect etc. the more you enslave. These instruments are my favorite way to play my underlying assumptions about the market.

INANE!!!

If enacted the proposed restrictions of FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08 would reduce my ability to hedge and thereby would INCREASE the risk in my portfolio. The proposed regulation is another example of cognitive biases in the actions of regulatory agencies. In this case the main ones, among others, being the Illusion of Explanatory Depth, or IOED, and Regulatory bias.

I am certainly able to comprehend the risk associated with my use of leveraged and inverse funds:

I passed the Series 7 exam at the top of my class when I became a stock broker.

Very simply put, our founding fathers had a knowing. A conviction that there is but one truth. We must not deviate from the path set upon in regards to perpetuating our conviction of the self evident truth that "all men are created equal ".
Equality in creation that dictates fair access and complete freedom to invest in any public stock .
Far be it just that a man be denied the opportunity to increase his worth based on the perceived complexity of the stock or the percieved or real lack of his ability to comprehend said complexities.

I have made over $700,000 investing in inverse and ultra funds over the last two years. I'm a highly educated investor and use the Elliott wave methodology to invest. I'm retired and have no other source of income. I couldn't make this type of return if I invested in individual stocks and bonds. In a down market, which we are in currently, I use inverse funds to make money instead of investing in bonds which you can lose money in.
