Jason Haller Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

This rule is disrespectful and elitist. There are unlimited resources online, many free, that can educate people about all investment products. Rules designed to "protect" investors simply enrich and entrench the wealthy. There will always be "gamblers" who invest unwisely, but the extreme overreaction of this proposed rule is not the answer. All investment products should be available to all people. Consider instead simply strengthening warnings, but do not create second-class investors.

As an investor, I should not be limited in my right to purchase levered or inverse ETFs. These instruments can allow me to generate outsized returns under certain market environments and are a complementary hedging strategy. We live in a world where the dispersion of returns between ultra high net worth individuals and retail investors continues to get larger. Taking away a powerful tool from retail investors' toolkits is a step back with regard to improving the regulatory landscape.

Plain and simple, legislation that assumes 'average' people don't have the ability or intellect to invest their money wisely is condescending and patronizing and just bad policy. I can buy stocks, invest in 401Ks, etc. without having to do anything being proposed for crypto investments. Just because you don't understand it or fear it doesn't mean you need to regulate it for everyone else.
