Clay Modisette Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am strongly opposed to any regulation that would exclude anyone with a cash account from investing in complex financial instruments. This could lead to biases based on education level, race, beliefs, net worth, etc.
I believe that margin access could benefit from further scrutiny when used to purchase any financial instrument.
I am supportive of increasing awareness and additional education, but not testing.

We, the general public, should be able to choose our own investment opportunities that are right for us and our families. Public investments should be made available to all of us, not just the privileged. Also we shouldn't have to go through any special processes or tests to prove we're capable of investing and the risks these investments hold. Thank you for your time and consideration.

You'll eventually have your way and I know life isn't fair but c'mon. Why do you have to have your hands in everything? I believe that for people who want to invest in the things they buy everyday in order to insure our future as mankind and enjoy some creature comforts. No one is taking over. There are no threats. Not everyone is going to work. We know this and I know you know you're going to make a lot of money from it. However, you think it's given you power and falsely so.you have no more power to control my funds than you do to put me in heaven or hell.

Government regulators must not impose arbitrary restrictions on private investors.

Many capital investments carry risk. Leveraged and inverse funds are central to my investment strategies, and I do not need -- nor will I appreciate -- interference with my basic right to purchase, hold, and trade them.

There is no legally-coherent or ethically-defensible rationale for adding additional constraints to my ability to freely and responsibly practice capitalism as I personally see fit within already-established laws and regulations.
