Nicholas Molder Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Im a normal citizen with a professional job and consider myself an average but informed investor. My investment plan is focused on long term gains and uses leveraged funds to do that. I follow a systematic investment program that uses safety switches and signals to reduce exposure to leveraged funds while also maximizing the benefit leveraged funds provide in the long term.
Im more than comfortable making my own investment decisions and do not think a 3rd party should regulate or control my investment options.

James Barden Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I ask you to not pass FINEA Reg #22-08 as I should be able to invest in a variety of securities without going through special tests. These inverse and leverage funds have always helped me to accelerate gains in my retirement account and without ability to do so threatens my ability to be ready for retirement. This is the main reason I use these types of funds, and I will be handicapped otherwise.

LaDell Crookston Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

The Founders did not create a paternal state when they broke ties with England. The formed a republic where individual rights under the law was the essential value, being also welded to individual responsibility. While I support laws that punish fraud, I also support the right of mentally competent adults to make their own decisions. I vigorously oppose any government body removing the "free from our freedoms to act in the market as we see fit. I also vigorously oppose any law that gives an advantage to certain investors who enjoy special privileges through government regulation.
