Oscar Vela Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have invested and traded stocks, options, etf's for 20 years and understand the risks involved. I have a high net worth and only risk approximately 5% of my stock portfolio on options and etf's hedges. I have extensive knowledge by reading about various types of investments. This is the U.S. where we should have the right to invest public investments of all kinds if we choose. We should not have regulators dictate what is deemed risky nor have them imposed upon us.

Betsy Carpenter Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

At 64 years of age, holding 7 professional certifications & having experience in industrial, education, medical, law, & CPA/Financial Planning fields, I feel I am more than qualified to control & invest my retirement funds as I see fit! I DON'T need FIRA to "save" me from myself! The option to invest in PUBLICLY traded funds should be just that - an option for the general PUBLIC, not just the wealthy. This is DISCRIMINATION at the highest level. SQQQ has been an invaluable portion of my retirement that I am counting on going forward.
