I wish to tell you in the strongest possible way that I am absolutely apposed to the government telling me or my family how to invest my hard earned money in public investments, especially inverse public securities. I have used inverse funds for years to protect my portfolio against major downturns like we are experiencing right now in the market. They are an important hedge against irrational
