Jack Bryson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I'm 68 years old and have been self-employed for most of my working life. Being self-employed means investing in various IRA, SEP, Self-Employed 401K plans, etc., which I manage myself and have for several decades. The very last thing I need is for government regulators tell me I can no longer have access to leveraged and inverse funds. These investments are a large part of my retirement portfolio. I understand and accept the risks. Knock it off! Find something else to do.

Comments: I believe that limiting access to leveraged ETFs would be unfair to small traders. While leverage increases risk of loss, I think taking instruments like TQQQ away from the general public does more harm than good. You can try to prevent one person from losing money, but if that also severely handicaps someone who is actually seeing returns, I am not convinced that is a net good, all that has been done is preventing lower and middle class folks from taking on risk. To me, this doesn't sound like good regulation.
