Javier Martinez Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Regulators should never be able to choose the public investments that are right for any individual. Public investments should be available to everyone, not just the few people. We are not kids that need to be tell what to do. I know the risk and I don't need FINRA to tell me what to do with my money.
FINRA should be limited only to prevent and find those companies and individuals that are breaking with the already established regulations.

Lisa Morris Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I understand that you are thinking of restricting my right to invest in certain public investments ("complex products"). Please stop trying to regulate everything!

These investments (such as leveraged funds) should be available to everyone, no matter one's income; and passing a test to prove I understand them should not be necessary.

It is one thing to fine a financial professional that misleads their client on these, but another to assume that self-directed investors cannot be trusted to make their own decisions.
