Ernest Wilson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I want to voice my opinion that I STRONGLY oppose FINRA regulation Notice #22-08 that will attempt to limit my ability to invest in leveraged and/or inverse funds. I should have the freedom to make my own investment decisions and I do not want regulators to make those decisions for me. I regularly use both leveraged and inverse funds to limit risk and to enhance my returns. They are a limited but essential part of my overall investment strategy and I DO NOT WANT more regulations to interfere with my investment strategies.

Thomas Anger Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I object strongly to the proposed regulations that would restrict my ability to invest in inverse funds. I am fully aware of the risks associated with such funds, and invest in them to reduce the risks associated with "long" stock and bond funds. My investment in an inverse fund is only a small fraction of my net worth, but my ability to invest at the time of my choosing -- and in the amount of my choosing -- is critical to the long-term performance of my portfolio.
