Rosemarie Johnson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

We have been trading options on leveraged funds for several years. That is how we make our money. From time to time the fund is put to the account and we manage the position to have it called out in a timely manner. To take that ability away from us would be harmful to our investing style. As a knowledgeable trader, we should have the right to trade these positions and not be told we are not capable.

I, like many others, am fully capable of understanding market risks and specific investment risks of leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of doing research, understanding risks, and making a decision on whether to invest. The decision should not be taken away from me or anyone else. If people are allowed to freely buy lottery tickets then so should anyone be allowed to invest in any product in the stock market. Anyone who doesn't understand the risks can make their own decision not to invest.

Richard Connett Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

This is to respectfully request that you DO NOT apply blanket and arbitrary rules that restricts investors access to publicly listed and traded securities. All investing incurs risk. Rules such as these could actually enhance liability as it implies other investments are "safe". Should investors assume "ZOOM" was a "safe, non-leveraged investment? What about TSLA? How about FTGC- The Commodities ETF? All investment/speculation assumes risk and decision to allocate any financial resources should lie with the investor and their advisor.

Not sure why you trying to control or limit my ability to my money into levered or inverse funds. I am a novice investor and try to read about various products and decide where i want to put my money. Please don't control where I put my money, no matter what the risk. It is fair for you to ask the investment products to fully disclose the risk, but that risk is mine to take. Thank you

I am not understanding why you should restrict these funds from the public. We should have the same freedom to invest in any Funds that are available to big banks and Wall Street.
It seems things change when the market is going down. But not when its going up.
A lot of 3 x leveraged and inverse stocks have been dropped down to 1.5 and 2 X
Worse is the big drops down for no reason and the reverse splits for down leverage stocks like 1:20 but the up ones are 2:1
This is controlling the stock market and its not right our fare.
