John Ambrose Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

The greedy government ought to keep its filthy paws out of our ability to invest....people should be ab;le to do what they want, if it is legal. The government is becoming like Nazi Germany. Do they prohibit buying booze and cigarettes? I should be able to choose public investments for me. I am capable of investing in inverse funds after 50 years investing experience. These funds balance and hedge my portfolio perfectly. The government should stay out of my choices

Chad Jacobsen Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

You have no right to take away my ability to hedge using inverse funds. You are trying to take away a tool from small investors and leave all the profit to the big boys. I've been using leveraged inverse funds for over three years, what gives you the right to take away my ability to predict a downturn and capitalize on it? You just want to leave all the profit to the big boys right when the market is going to crash. I will sue your butts off if you divest me of my investments and you cost me big money.

If there is one way I can make up my losses, is thru leveraged ETFs. Please stop this madness. Traders are smart enough to read and educate themselves before buying leveraged or inverse ETFs, including myself. If you like to help the traders, here is something much more important you can do: Make our funds available right away after each transaction and/or at least within the hour. In this age of digital fast money, there is absolutely no reason to hold our money hostage for TWO DAYS. Please correct this rule for the benefit of people. Thank you.

Dear Finra,

I strongly encourage you to continue allowing retail and retirement investors like myself to continue investing in levered and complex products. These products are great investment tools for people like myself who choose to perform careful and thoughtful research while understanding the risks that come with them. It would be government overreach to restrict individuals from making their own informed choices to invest in these products.
