Chris Grande Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

As is often the case in government policy, the motivations of this seem good. However, limiting investments until someone has a liquid net worth of 1M or other limit has proven suboptimal. These specialized products are risk management tools - perhaps used to hedge a portfolio without selling and realizing gains, or taking advantage of markets that would otherwise be unavailable without a large futures account.

Wes Smith Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To whom it may concern,
I am opposed to any additional restrictions that may be placed on my ability to invest or trade invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I have invested in these ETFs for several years and have lost and made money. It seems very condescending for an agency to tell it's citizenry what is safe and what is unsafe when the government itself is bankrupting America by mismanaging the peoples money. Please stay in your own wheel-house and allow us to trade freely without any further restrictions - win or lose. This is the American way!
