Gene McPherson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Gentlemen: the proposed regulation of US ETFs goes against everything this country stands for. 1) I should be able to choose which investments I invest inNOT by permission of the federal government. 2) I should NOT have to take a test to determine whether or not I can invest money that I have earned myself. 3) ETFs are important to my investment strategies.
Please leave investing to individual citizens.

Hello, As a person who has personally traded leveraged funds for years it would be detrimental to both myself and my family to be restricted from doing so. I do not feel that it is appropriate for you to restrict us from trading these funds. Leveraged funds are a key part of our investment strategy and we understand the risks associated with them. We feel that if we choose to invest our money into them then that should be our right to do so even if they present risks. We should not be forced to get a license or take a test to continue trading the way that we have been doing.

I would like to submit my opposition to the actions to restrict access to certain funds that are deemed "complex". The funds are the small investors only ability to hedge their accounts against certain market risks. Without them we are left exposed to unnecessary risks. It's a bad idea to restrict investment opportunities. The reality is that these types of funds may be the only ability to make gains should the market go into an extended flat or down period.
