Kevin Martin Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I strongly oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. I believe it is my right to make investment decisions that are right for me and my family without regulators getting involved in those investment decisions. I know what is best for me, and I believe it is very presumptuous to assume a regulator is more concerned about my well-being and investment decisions than I am.

I believe that I do and I should continue to have the right to invest my own money as I see fit as a means to obtain my goal of long term financial security. Furthermore, what one may deem as "complex product" may seem a simple investment or investment strategy to someone else... you have no responsibility to make a decision as to the complexity of an investment on my behalf!
I and I alone should have the right to invest in whatever bonds, stocks, equities, etc. that I so choose without government interference.

William Gaymon Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am a retail investor who enjoys testing and using various stock picking strategies for a part of my portfolio. I don't have any professional training in the workings of the stock market. However, I was a math major in college and a computer scientist by trade. I think I know enough to understand the basic concept of a leveraged ETF and/or inverse ETFs. I also use an analytical stock picking application to help me make my trades.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in any public security, I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. >90% of investors lean on the advice of an investment advisor, make those who sell investments pass investment risk knowledge tests, this is where the majority of investment decisions are made in this country.
