Douglas Berry Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It is absolutely essential that everyone be free to select any and all investments they wish to participate in without restrictions. Investing should never be reserved for just privileged individuals or be subject to special tests or other requirements. It has been widely accepted over the years that there are substantial risks involved with all investments. It is a learning process involving much research and a bit of trial and error, but a basic freedom none the less.

To my knowledge, public investments are available to all of the public, not just the privileged and I oppose your restrictions on my right to invest. I am aware that all investments come with a certain degree of risk, especially when you combine normal risk with the lack of transparency, T2 trading platform, recent rumors of Market Manipulation, Dark Pools, Fails to Deliver etc. I selectively choose to invest in companies which I believe will have profitable earnings and favorable returns. Your interference upon my right to invest are unjustified.

I take extreme exception to your proposal to limit my access to buying any particular class of public funds. This is part of my investment strategy; I employ it as a hedge in my portfolio. It does not require special training or skills to understand the potential risks and benefits of using leveraged and inverse funds. It seems more likely to me that this is just another ploy of the privileged to manipulate and control the free market system, thus preventing people like me from protecting our investments and possibly capitalizing on volatile trends in the economy.
