Brian Anuszewski Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public. I shouldn't have to go through any special process such as passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. These investments are a key hedge for average investors like me to safeguard my portfolio against inflation and market turmoil. I do not need these measures imposed.

Shahrzad Towfighian Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am totally against any limitations imposed on my investment freedom.
Since it is my own money which I earned it by hardworking, it is my own decision on how to invest it.
I do not need anyone to make a decision on my behalf for controlling my investments. I am a grown up who has the full capacity on making decisions and I am fully aware of investing in security markets, specially the ones related to leveraged and inverse ETFs.

Forrest Hilton Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose new rule making that would make leveraged and inverse ETFs difficult or impossible for normal investors to buy. I have used these sorts of ETFs in the past profitably for both hedging risks and investment purposes. I believe these products are both understandable and useful to the average investor.

Given the recent blow-up of so-called qualified investors and family offices like Bill Hwang, I would much rather regulators focus their time on tightening the rules in places that are systemically important, like large private funds rather than on small individual investors.
