Wayne Jewell Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose what is being planned to limit my ability to invest MY money public investments. As we all know there is a level of risk in making any investment and that is a risk I as an individual make a choice on - Not you. Leveraged and inverse funds are important part of my investment portfolio limiting my access to these investment vehicles appears to be discriminatory and tyrannical actions. Your motives are based on very subjective and narrow view of investors that we/I are not smart enough to understand the risks. PLEASE DO NOT IMPOSE THESE RESTRICTIONS ON ME.

James Long Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Gentlemen, I would like to object to any proposal to restrict trading in certain securities such as leveraged and inverse funds. I am not a high net worth individual, but I have read several books on trading and investing, have taken several courses and belonged to a trading club for a while. So I feel I have a more than adequate understanding of how markets work and the risks involved. Furthermore, there are already adequate warnings and protections available to investors/traders who will avail themselves of them. Opportunities for investor education already abound.

Dear FINRA, please do not begin gatekeeping access to complex financial instruments based on an assessment or net worth basis. This jeopardizes personal freedom and creates artificial and unnecessary barriers in the market for individual investors to participate. This compromises liquidity, price finding, and is an infringement of liberty.

A focus on risk disclosure and awareness is prudent and appropriate, but limiting investor access to products based on means tests or other assessments is not.
