Kyle S Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have been investing for 12 years on my own. Throughout this time I have had to deal with various incidents of government officials trying to "protect me" by restricting what I can and can not trade on the markets. Well guess what IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS WHAT I DO WITH MY MONEY! Restricting complex products is quite frankly not your job. If I want to buy them it is my choice. If I lose money then so be it. These may or may not fit into my investing strategy but it is my right to make this choice.

As an Investor on TDAmeritrade I was approved an account to invest. My expectation, as a customer, is that my brokerage provide me all the tools that any investor would have access to and NOT based on my WEALTH!!! By limiting investment vehicles to users based on how much money they have is wrong and is only used to keep people from getting ahead. Saying you are protecting me from loss is [REDACTED]. You're not my parent or my money manager you're just preventing me from gaining income like the privileged wealthy. TDAmeritrade provides me with the prospectus that explains the risks.
