Joseph Zadeh Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Are you people out of your mind? The market is going down, the economy is bad, a negative GDP number today, and buying inverse ETFs is the way people can protect themselves from falling asset prices and being put out of work. Why in the world are you doing this now? It seems like a desperate move to keep the market from reaching lows. You are not helping me. You are hurting me, and I do not want you FINRA people involved in this at all. Are you people willing to put your money where your mouth is and pay me if the market does go down and you prohibit me from buying it?

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. I not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. As a self-taught investor, leveraged and inverse funds have become an important part of my investment strategy. They are the easiest way for ordinary Americans like myself to either take defensive investment strategies as a hedge to the bulk of their portfolio, or as an intentional investment made based upon current market situations.
