Richard Sharpless Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I already need special approval from the brokerage to trade these products. Leveraged and inverse funds are primarily used to hedge risk and lower volatility. These new regulations will disadvantage smaller investors. Do you want us to return to "selling short" to achieve our goals? If so, that would entail a great deal more risk.

This is a prime example of regulatory overreach.

Jon Salvati Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose any restrictions on my ability to trade leveraged and inverse funds. These products are an important part of my self directed portfolio and I understand their purpose and limitations. Having these investment options allows me to execute my own investment strategies rather than pay a fee to an investment manager who will still have access to these funds if this regulation is implemented. How is this fair?
