Bruce Rothermal Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I do not want regulators telling me what I can invest in. I'm fully aware of the dangers of investing in leveraged funds. I read the warning statements and signed that I understood. I'm an adult and would like to continue to be treated as an adult. If you need for me to read and sign the agreement/warning each year I can understand that but not completely removing this type of investment because you don't believe I'm intelligent to understand the words in these warning agreements. Proshares sends investment documents out several times a year explaining the investments and details of these.

Paul Thomas Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Regarding FINRA's attempt to make it more difficult to invest in leveraged and inverse funds and strategies. I object to your attempt to limit my rights to invest in the investments I choose. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. It is not FINRA's right to do so.

I do not believe that I should need to pass a test that FINRA designs to prove my right to invest in what I choose.
