Richard Sharpless Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I already need special approval from the brokerage to trade these products. Leveraged and inverse funds are primarily used to hedge risk and lower volatility. These new regulations will disadvantage smaller investors. Do you want us to return to "selling short" to achieve our goals? If so, that would entail a great deal more risk.

This is a prime example of regulatory overreach.
