James Damon Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have traded these products for thirty years. I understand the risks and rewards.These products are needed for liquidity, price discovery and hedging. The volume of these products clearly shows that they are needed. Investments must be available to all members of the public, not just to s select few, selected by some arbitrary process. A signed document, in the customers account file, that explains the risks is enough to allow individuals the opportunity to trade these products.

Scott Watkins Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I sincerely oppose any limitations on my ability (right) to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I have already read and understand the risks associated with this type of vehicle and have been successfully using certain leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my long-term investments.
These are PUBLIC investments and should be available to all investors, not just the mega-wealthy and privileged few.
