John Garlington Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
I am not sure what the concern is with respect to these type of investments. I appreciate that they exist so I can take a bet that values will fall (inverse funds) and take a leveraged bet so as not to tie up too much of my money with the bet or hedge as the case may be. I believe the disclosures are adequate. I appreciate that you might be well intentioned with this approach, but I wonder how long it will be until you start restricting my ability to drink alcohol or sweet drinks, etc. in an effort to protect me from myself.
