Mr. Weatherford Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

This is America. People should be free to do what they want. We do not need more bureaucracy or oversight of individual investors. I like leveraged funds and make a bunch of money by investing in them. Do not be [REDACTED] and hurt small investors like me. It is not your job to protect people from themselves if they are playing with stuff they do not understand. If you want be people to understand this then teach personal finance and investing in the public school system. Do not regulate it here. Don't tread on me.

John Owen Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

There should not be any new restrictions on the purchase of "complex" investments. In my experience the use of professional asset managers have cost my family money the two times we used them. I am perfectly capable of choosing the type of investments that work for my situation. For your information for every dollar I have lost on my inverse fund I made 9 on my other investments. Had the economy gone a different direction the results would have been the opposite. There should not be any new qualifications for people, in order to buy certain investments.
