Mark Swanson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Regulating inverse funds is another assault on the individual investor. It is hard enough to compete against large funds and billionaires but taking away the advantage of inverse ETFs which do not require the investor to hold a margin account is an assault on freedom. In addition, the fess saved from not have to pay to borrow stocks are another way to hurt the little guy. Inverse and leverage funds are not hard to understand as opposed to option strategies. Are you going to regulate that next?

Kenneth Edlund Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I, the investor, and not you, the regulators, should be the one to choose the public investments that are right for me.
This is a matter of basic principle, and therefore of first importance: PUBLIC investments should be available to ALL the public, not just the privileged, who are already more than privileged enough.

What you propose is part of an insulting trend: the "Nanny State" deciding it knows best and should protect us stupid rubes from ourselves. This has no place in what one hopes is still a free country.
