Alexander Ivanov Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It is not the government's role to determine an individual's ability to understand their own finances. Therefore I oppose this notice quite directly. Information about "complex" and inverse financial products is freely available online, and any able minded adult is able to find this information easily. Just because an individual may not fully understand a product, does not mean they cannot learn about it. I do not approve of the state determining my intelligence or ability.

Randall Densmore Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Please DO NOT remove any of my current investment options, including leveraged ETFs. Many consumers are preeminently qualified to understand and consider all types of investments. Currently there are safeguards in place to make sure people are able to make decisions about certain types of investments. In my case I am Series 6, 7, 63, and 65 licensed and fully understand the risks of leveraged investments and options, but I believe there are sufficent warnings and information available that anyone should be able to invest in these products. Please do not overreach here.
