Forrest Friedrich Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I strongly oppose setting up special regulations in regards to individuals trading in leveraged and inverse ETFs. They can be an important part of any active investor's portfolio!

As an example, I have a small portion of my net worth invested in inverse ETFs right now. That investment has helped my overall investment account handily beat the overall market so far this year. Am I thinking that I'm going to get rich overnight from this hedge? No. But it is helping offset today's inflation effects.

The core notion behind this campaign is that retail investors are not knowledgeable enough, intelligent enough or informed enough to decide what to do with are hard earned money. The state already takes from us, in the form of taxes, monies to fund social security and invest those funds in h way congress sees fit. It would seem only fair that what is left for us to invest, be done so by what we believe to be fit. Has the investment world no room for us independent investors making our own independent decisions, based on the information we glean through our due diligence.
