George Netuschil Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

NO more regulation! Investors in the markets need to have any tool available. Currently and in the past I have used in an inverse exchange product to protect my investments....and it is badly needed.
As an investor, I should be free to use what ever tools I may need without regulation of any kind. I should not have to go through any process to invest as I see fit. People who invest without these tools are at a severe disadvantage. If they are unable to understand the the tools, professional advisers are available to all. My broker posts a notice on these tools in detail.

So I have used leveraged and inverse ETFs for approximately 10 years as a way to channel my investing when I believe a certain segment of the market has been oversold/overbought. Further, I may use them to hedge my existing positions. I believe it's my right to choose these investments as I see fit without having to pass some artifical test. After all, the firms that I trade with have their own disclosures to their client base on these types of investments, which I feel is more than sufficient to protect consumers.

I am writing as a self managed investor in several of the Proshares leveraged funds. I have invested in these funds for more than 3 years. I visit the Proshares website, read the prospectuses and past fund performance, the degree of leverage being offered and the risks involved. The information provided is comprehensive. I am hereby advocating to keep investments in Proshares leveraged funds as they are now.
