Scott Neal Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To whom it may concern:

I am appalled that FINRA would attempt to place additional roadblocks and restrictions on leveraged and inverse Exchange Traded Funds. These are very valuable tools that have enabled me to make money in almost any environment for several years. The ability to hedge nearly any market without selling something short is a tremendous advantage. Leverage is a very useful tool when used in moderation.

Trevor Arens Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Its should not be up to scrupulous Washington Bureaucrats to decide what I can and cant invest in. It should be up to to those who purchase and sell public securities. I have done research into every security that I have purchase and have kept prospectuses of each one. I have also read literature regarding investing.

This feels like a way for government to pick and choose which stocks are going to be purchased by the public, and which ones arent. That would make for more insider trading and ruin 401ks, IRAs and personal brokerage accounts for smaller investors like myself.
