Scott Gingery Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Regulators seem to have more interest in 'protecting investors from themselves' than ensuring that there is a level playing field for all investors, large AND small. They have allowed the big players to use algorithms that cause trading and investing to be erratic and at times, non-sensical. Let individual investors purchase and trade whatever instruments they choose. After all, IT'S THEIR MONEY. Stop trying to control what people do and think.

Roger Thomas Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I consider investing my own money a decision that I am fully capable of making without additional controls. The changes being considered to gate who has access to leveraged and inverse ETFs/Funds are barriers to entry. Personally, I use them in my investing to better manage market downturns and to gain better returns. In 2020 when the market was getting hammered, I was able to invest in an inverse ETF which significantly protected my down side. More recently, I was able to invest in a leveraged ETF which brought me significant returns.
