Mike Knapp Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I resent the thought that I cannot choose for myself what investment products work best for me. And I find it insulting, manipulative and corrupt that only those with privilege (high net worth investors) would be allowed to use these trading vehicles. I use these types of vehicles to hedge positions as well as to take advantage of down movements, since I can not use options in my IRA account. I don't need a mama or some Big Brother organization trying to assume parental type authority.

I have been a holder of TBT as an inflation hedge against higher interest rates for a while now. The position has been profitable and is becoming even more profitable with recent rate hikes. I am a long term investor and want to be able to choose my investments that I feel are suitable for me, I do not want my choices dictated by someone else. My trade was unsolicited and made with the full knowledge that I could lose money if rates went against me. It is a small measured position and will not impact my overall portfolio in the least.
