Elliot Cohen Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

If I want to short a stock, or use a regular or inverse ETF, that is my choice. Americans are supposed to be equal, and have to the same opportunities that the more wealthy have. A lot of leveraged funds provide tremendous opportunities for the active investor, and do exactly what they're meant to do. I don't need to attend university or work for Goldman Sachs to have access to use any fund. The majority of investors who buy leveraged funds know exactly what they're doing

Well as usual the government is over reaching. It is okay to risk my money in the market as long as I am losing money. If I take position that I feel will make me money the government steps in and wants to make sure I do not. You still get your "cut" in taxes! Anyway, I still run the same risk that the market will go up and wipe out my short position. I do not need the government trying to teach me about ETF,s. They already do such a good job educating our kids in our public schools. I am sure I can learn a lot on ETF,s from the gov't

These funds are essential to my investment strategies. They are especially helpful during volatile markets and they can help ensure that we protect our assets during market corrections. In addition, these funds can possibly enhance our returns. Please do not restrict or limit our ability to use these funds. Respectfully, I encourage you to allow us to make those informed decisions.
