Glenn Cook Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Leveraged ETFs, including inverse funds are an important tool to everyday retail investors to hedge their assets and to increase their chances for successful investing and trading. These funds give the small investor an opportunity to compete with the big brokerage firms in a highly manipulated market, often fueled by high frequency trading of stocks, bonds, and options. I strongly reject the arguments that regulating these funds and requiring tests (probably written by the same high frequency traders) to determine eligibility will benefit the individual inverstor.

Daniel Rojo Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I wholeheartedly disagree with any regulations that restrict my right to purchase leveraged investments. As a licensed CPA, with a Bachelors and Masters degree, working in a corporate finance department, I find it outlandish to propose such a policy that will limit the access of public investments to others due to the risk entailed (which is disclosed by brokers) or due to ones net worth. Net worth requirements that result in the restrictions of public investments are discriminatory. Investments have changed my life. Compounding interest has changed my life.

Milton Rush Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I'm sure these restrictions on personal investments are all the rage in Cuba, Venezuela, Russia and China. Yes, many Americans are losing money. We don't need our government telling Americans what we can invest in. Better to lose some money than our freedoms. When investors tire of losing money they will invest in other things. Let the market find it's own level. Adam Smith wrote of the "invisible hand" on the markets. Let that hand do it's job. Keep the government regulators hands off of our economic freedoms.
