Nick Smith Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. I shouldnt have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like inverse or leveraged funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risk. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my strategies. I use leveraged and inverse to hedge my investments and are a limited part of my portfolio.

I'm outraged and terrified that FINRA would consider putting restrictions on leveraged and inverse investment vehicles. These are extremely valuable tools that I use to achieve the market exposure I want to have. Without these I would need to use other methods which would incur more costs, present more risk to me, and be less tax efficient. I've worked too hard in my career to have my investment strategies upended by regulators who are going to be doing more harm than good with these proposed regulations.

The proposed regulation of leveraged and inverse funds is a radical reach by a government agency to limit our freedoms! The tests, getting approvals, required reading, etc., are an insult to investors who use these investment vehicles as a part of their portfolio. To regulate these so that only the privileged few have access is discriminatory to say the least! This needs to be stopped in its tracks!!
