Mei Bai Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose restrictions to my right to buy leveraged and inverse funds

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 I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Leveraged and inverse funds have a place in the equity market. Mostly used short term they can be an effective method of investing in certain types of markets. Although they are higher risk, long term they have proven to have an excellent
rate of return. An investor should not be controlled on how to invest any portion of their assets. These types of etfs are based on stocks. Just a different approach, not baseless like bitcoin.

For 10 years, I have held ProShares Ultra-pro short and Pro-short Funds. If you disallow investors from buying these funds, the value of these funds will evaporate since very few will be buying them. So I won't be able to sell them. I will lose everything. I appreciate your intentions and agree with them to some extent, but a sudden drastic refusal to let them be traded will severly damage all of us who already own and need to sell them to someone else.
