Jason Munoz Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

This comment is to urgently oppose new regulations on so-called "complex products." As an investor with over a decade of experience, I am neither a professional, nor a novice. But the notion of regulating leveraged and inverse products is nonsensical. These products are far and away the easiest to understand of any ETFs/ETNs available to retail investors.

A "complex product" is really just picking a market direction and pace. That's it.

Kelly Allman Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To whom it may concern,

I have spent the last 28 years investing either in a personal or professional capacity. I do believe it is in the best interest of individual investors to have a wide variety of potential investments from which to choose. The leveraged and inverse etfs, albeit more risky than many other funds, can be useful if used properly and I believe that all investors should have the freedom to choose to invest in them or not.

Sarah Mattson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have the sole ability to choose what investments I want to pursue. I oppose any restrictions of my right to invest in any public investment available in the market place. It is ridiculous to have to pass a special test so I may invest in a public security. If/when I invest in a leveraged and/or inversed fund, I do understand the risks, my goodness I am literate, educated, and capable of determining my own risk tolerance. Please stay out of my right to choose what types of public investments I want to invest in.

David Jou Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose this restriction to my right to invest. Those with a high net worth have traditionally been able to invest and greatly increase their wealth. Having more wealth to invest also means that they have a lot more to lose which often applies to complex investments. These restrictions would also force the public to utilize a broker which not only incurs a cost, but often results in a much more conservative approach to investing. How can the public or older individuals invest for their future or retirement if there isn't an ability to increase their investments relatively quickly?
