Jennifer Barbara Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Like my husband posted as well, I share his sentiments exactly:

I am an experienced investor who is aware of how ETFs and inverse type funds work. Like any other investment there is due diligence and risk, which I accept. I dont think FINRA should over reach and and limit availability and access to these instruments. Instead, they should focus more in investor education, especially to younger generations that are crafting their investment strategies, and not focus on closing access to these instruments.

Kyle Walkley Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am a financially literate investor that uses leveraged ETFs as part of a diversified portfolio. Sweeping restrictions of financial instruments create unnecessary barriers of entry for investors seeking to increase market exposure. I believe regulation similar to options is acceptable as leveraged funds are inherently riskier than non-leveraged. However, a properly educated investor who understands the inherent risk of these products deserves to have the ability to utilize them.
