Yucel Kahraman Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

After investing for a little over 10 years, my most successful years are when I started investing in leveraged ETFs. Eliminating the leveraged ETFs from the choices of investment vehicles is the wrong decision. Yes, leveraged ETFs are volatile, but so are individual securities, mutual funds, and options. I understand the volatility when I invest in them and assume the risk myself. Investing in individual stocks can be a risky investment as well.

I have been investing since 1998. The first time I placed a trade it cost $75 to place the trade over a phone. I don't wish to go back to those days. Nor do I want regulators telling me what I can and can't invest in or require me to pass a test to demonstrate my knowledge. I have invested in both leveraged and inverse funds. Inverse funds are especially useful for hedging. Inverse funds are much less risky then hedging through options which have an expiration date. The safest way to hedge is through inverse funds.

Regulations preventing individuals not considered high net worth is classist, and potentially racist considering the socio economic demographics of high net worth folks. This has the potential of being illegal for its discriminatory language similar to historic red lining policies. I would also think, having more people invest would be of interest in a capitalist system, as it also has the potential to provide more jobs for those interested in accessing it.
