Charles Myers Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I would suggest that if you are considering stiffer regulations on leveraged investments, you should take a look in other places where there is nothing but hot air underneath. Netflix, Rivian and hundreds more highly inflated stocks. The problem with that is given your belief that more government is better government would drive you there without that suggestion. These investments give the little guy a shot with less risk that the options market where your money goes away at expiration.

Nick Rhoads Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It's absurd to restrict buying securities regardless of how much risk that they carry. If investors want to carry additional risk but purchasing leveraged ETFs or inverse funds they should be able to. No investor should have to go through extra steps to buy any security or go through a "cool down period." Leveraged funds are part of my diversified portfolio as a way to take on extra risk and restricting buying these securities would harm my portfolio.
