Kartik Chandar Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Investing in publicly traded securities is an individual investors right and they are fully accountable for the results (positive or negative). You may ask them to sign an additional waiver / acknowledgment of the risks but you should not restrict them. Additionally, You may put disclosure requirements on these leveraged and inverse funds to improve transparency to the investors. As a regulatory body, that is what the scope and focus should be.

I am very troubled upon hearing FINRA is considering limiting or stopping many investors from being able to invest in inverse funds. You cannot short stocks in an IRA so inverse funds are one of the main ways you can still make some investment income when the market is dropping. Why are you continuing to divide the majority of investors from the elite and large investors that can do almost anything, as well as affect the price of much of the market. Just another example of complete disregard for the common investor under the guise of protecting us from ourselves.
