William Terhune Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It's called a hedge. I want to be able to do the same thing the big institutions do. If I'm smart enough to buy long positions, I'm smart enough to short. As per usual, you are dumping on small investors and helping big banks aka: your donors. This isn't just stupid, it's anti American. It's my money, if I want to hedge, it's my business. Stay out of my business and stay out of the markets.

I have inverse funds in my investment accounts. They are a portion of the accounts, not the majority of the accounts. These funds bring some additional diversity and balance to my accounts. I am investing money that I have earned throughout my career, and I should be able to do that as I see fit without government regulation either adding needless tasks for me to accomplish or restrict my investment earning potential. Both of my brokerage accounts already include warnings and information about the inverse funds I trade. These warning pop up before I can submit each trade.

I am against the proposal, S7-24-15, to restrict trading in leveraged funds. My wife and I depend on leveraged ETFs as part of our investments strategy, and we should continue to have that freedom, as I take the time to research investments in order to make the best choices for our accounts. That is my right as a citizen of this country. If my investments decline, that's on me and I accept that responsibility just as anyone should. I should be allowed to continue to make my own decisions for our portfolios.
