Thomas Richason Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
Thomas Richason
N/A
I am a private citizen who has been managing my own investment accounts for over 20 years. During those years I studied the markets and investment strategies. Initially I had to convince my brokerage firm, Charles Schwab, that I was qualified to trade options and inverse ETFs as well as futures contracts and manage my own accounts. It is very important to me that I be allowed to determine what investment vehicles are appropriate for me and not be told by some beaurocrat what I can and con not invest/trade in. Currently inverse ETFs are an important aspect of my investing strategy. Since I have already proven that I am capable of managing my own accounts and since I continually update my knowledge of the markets and trading strategies I do not feel it is necessary for you to mandate any form of testing for me or any other private citizen in order to remain qualified to manage my own accounts.
