Robert Jacobs Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It is very distributing to hear that the government is attempting to curtail the use of investments, specifically Inverse and Leveraged Funds. While I totally understand that these products are complex and not designed for everyone, I believe that a large majority of investors would opt out of these type of investments if they were properly notified. Widespread government intrusion into this investment area is not welcome and I strongly believe that Regulators should aim their efforts toward manipulated products such as precious metals and commodities. Thank you

I am new to Leveraged/Inverse ETF's and am learning how best to use them. I thought they were very very risky when I became aware of them several years ago.

I started small with $1,000 positions 2 ETF's 3x. I use them not to trade over day to day but as protection in times like now to make money in declining markets. I formerly used Mutual Funds for the same purpose but found them not to be effective for my purposes.

Dear FINRA regulators,

I respectfully and strongly oppose further restrictions on my right to invest. Public securities should be something anyone in the public trading space should have free access to, regardless of income, occupation, net worth, or privilege. This includes leveraged and inverse funds, things I often use to hedge or trade in a tactical manner in my own portfolio. My volatility strategy specifically makes great use of these securities.

The interfering in the right of private individuals to choose personal investment strategies is absolutely insane and communistic in principal. There is no way individuals should need a body of extraordinary unrelated persons to over manage how a person or family applies it's funds. I earned the money by my education and by hard work and I take the risk and the profits. It is no one else's business except my spouse on what or when I decide to invest.
