Nathalie Bijlsma Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

N/A

Leveraged and inverse funds should be able to be traded by anyone. Its my money and it is my choice on how to spend it. Individuals have the right to spend money and invest how they please. Yes, there could be risks involved but that is my choice. Every investment involves some sort of risk, even the top tech stocks, some of which have declined roughly 80% since their high a year ago. How can an inverse or leveraged fund be more risky than that? My money, my choice; just like my body, my choice. Meme stocks were traded by individuals, and a ton of money was made and lost. Are random stocks that have the potential to be meme stocks also going to be prohibited from trading? This proposed rule is setting a dangerous precedent that any kind of investment can be potentially deemed as untradeable. I use leveraged and inverse funds to make a profit when the market is not making any sense or have any direction. It is my right to be able to trade these etfs just as funds get to, to hedge or to make money.
