Geoffrey Moore Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Geoffrey Moore
N/A

I oppose limits on investing in leveraged instruments. I do so on both the long and short side, and also use options. I understand the risks and limits. If you impair these instruments you will be impairing my ability to generate extra income while hedging long exposure to my portfolio and economic risks (e.g., selling cash covered puts on short ETFs). Please stop impairing open investing, and focus your regulatory efforts on identifying and stopping fraudulent actors. Frankly, I find it ironic and shameful that you think individuals don't understand risk, when you can't or won't seemingly manage the risks associated with poor regulatory prioritization. I don't need babysitting, I need enforcement when people break the law. Thank you for your efforts doing so.
