Eric Ellett Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am sick and tired of government officials trying to protect me from myself. I am fed up with people who think they know what's best for me and want to force it on me regardless of what I think about the matter. The price of freedom is responsibility. I will gladly pay that price. For what is worth I have a finance degree. Have passed securities licensing in a prior career, and passed level I and II of the CFA. Even if I had none of this education and experience it is still MY responsibility to manage MY financial affairs. Not yours. Keep people from stealing from me.

As a good father would not neglect nor punish the reservations and protective nature of his childs small, worthless, yet invaluable collection of odd, incongruent, and disassociated toysneither should a person in financial authority govern over those with less money, less experience, less intelligence, or be given the power to reign over them with unwelcome, hostile regulation and impingement upon their liberties and adult faculties.

To Whom May be Concerned, I am an educated investor and should not have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse ETFs. Not only I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks, I truly believe it's my choice and rights to invest on stocks or funds the way I want. That said, the unreasonable measures imposed on to me and other investors are totally unnecessary.

Matthew Arel Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am writing to express my concern with the regulations you are considering regarding leveraged and inverse funds. I use these funds to balance my portfolio and enhance its performance during adverse times like we are currenlty experiencing.
I understand the risks of investing with these funds and, more importantly, don't feel it is your job to control how I invest my money.
Thank you,
Matt Arel
