Conrad Kockerbeck Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have used both inverse and leveraged funds several times over the years and met my objectives for both hedging and capital gains. In my opinion these funds provide excellent opportunities for smaller investors to participate in otherwise difficult to implement investment strategies. Adequate warnings and educational information are readily available in the fund prospectuses and the issuers websites. I am opposed to further restrictions and hurdles in accessing these instruments. Thank you.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the rich and privileged. I do not need government regulators telling me what I can invest in. We the public shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before we can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

Once again, I am here from the government and I am here to help you, is big government at its worst. The only people who will benefit from this proposed rule are the market makers and professional investors who already have an edge in the financial markets. Instead of wasting your time telling people you do not think they are as smart as you are, how about taking equal time to do something about insider trading by politicians, pump and dump schemes, and the other nefarious actions that are the real threat?
