Misha Rajcoomar Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

My brokerage firm required me to listen to a statement detailing the potential risks for options before I could start trading them. Since options can similarly be used to achieve leverage or inverse returns, I think this is a reasonable requirement for trading in leveraged/inverse funds. At the end of the day, higher expected return comes hand in hand with greater risk. If a given investor isn't aware of this, the issue isn't that they're trading in these products but the fact that they're trading in the first place.
