Sean O'Brien Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Stop trying to limit investment options for individual investors! There is absolutely no good reason for this recent push to regulate inverse and leveraged ETFs. If people/hedge funds can use leverage and short markets in other ways then why not via ETF?! Unless for some reason you don't want individuals to have a convenient option to short or use leverage?? Bizarre use of your time. -Sean

Steven Ritchey Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose restrictions on my rights to invest as I wish in public investments in regulated markets. I should be able to choose (without restriction) which investments are right for me, not just the privileged financial class. I shouldn't have to go through some special process or pass a test before having access to any public securities including, but not limited to: inverse funds, leveraged funds, etc. as they are critical to my overall portfolio. I am intellegent enough to understand the risks.

Sir, Regulators shouldn't choose the investments for my family. We are adults who understand the risk of investing in leveraged funds. They are important to me for a portion of my portfolio. They help me hedge my investments against market moves. In conclusion, we do not need these regulations imposed on us. I hope you will consider the views of the many investors who use these leveraged and inverse funds.
