Mark Reisler Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in vehicles that are of my own choosing, and I do not believe FINRA should be able to dictate to me about the use of my own money. I am capable of understanding public investment vehicles and I should not have to pass some sort of test in order to invest in them. Inverse funds play an important role for me to be able to hedge other long investments, and I should not have to generate a significant number of transactions (i.e. sell many long positions) in order to adjust my overall risk.

You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that you are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Tell regulators you do not need these measures imposed on you. Myself, Not people that impose and regulate should have the right to choose what to invest in publicly and privately. Its my money not yours
