Lawrence Laliberte Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

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.

I use inverse funds to hedge gains in other investments. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and know the risks involved. My portfolio is up 8% already this year, whereas the S&P is down ~14% since the beginning of 2022.

I oppose any restrictions or limitations on my right to invest in publicly available investments. I don't need to pass any test to be able to invest the way I feel is right for me.

Hey, I get it. In today's litigious society everyone wants to blame someone else for their own poor decisions. That's just part of where the world is going. I own my own mistakes and because of that I feel that I should be able to make my own decisions. I own small amounts of a few levered funds because it's fun. It adds a little excitement to an otherwise very conservative portfolio strategy. I feel that if I'm willing to take the risk of investing and the ETF/Fund issuer is willing to take on the risk of lawsuits, we should both be able to do what we want.
