Dwayne Earnhardt Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in the investments that i choose. I, not regulators, should decide what investment strategy is good for me. If you regulate leveraged and inverse funds, what investments will you regulate in the future? This is a slippery slope. Inverse funds are great for a hedge. And what is the issue, shorting has been allowed forever and is much more risky due to the unlimited loss potential in shorting. Are you going to regulate shorting as well?

Weston Anderson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I invest in leveraged ETFs and have done so since at least 2015. I understand they are complex and, as a non-professional investor, I understand do not fully understand them. However, I do understand the single most important factor about leveraged ETFs: I am at risk of losing money (and at greater risk versus non-leveraged ETFs). That point is not complex and is not difficult to understand. Further, it is true of any stock market investment.

I am writing in regards to possible legislation which would limit the use of leveraged and inverse ETF's. I ask that you please do not limit or get rid of these ETF's. These financial instruments have given me the ability to grow my retirement account faster and provide supplemental income for my family. If you want to put an additional disclaimer that investors are required to sign, stating that they understand the risks involved, that is great, but do not take away our freedom to trade these ETFs!
