Kar Wong Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It is an investors right to be able to access the entirety of the public securities markets. To limit this to certain high net worth individuals is discriminatory and likely easily overturned in court. Why waste the public's money on guaranteed litigation? Requiring testing before allowing investment is also a barrier to entry. What if I'm someone of lesser means, do I have to pay to take this test? That's likely going to mean I could invest OR I could take the arbitrary test. Again, this is discriminatory.

Mark Perry Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I'm retired, and I've been investing successfully for over40 years now and in that process have used both leveraged and inverse funds in the stock markets, as well as options and futures, in addition to investing in bonds. I take great exception to the FINRA requirements described in Notice #22-08 now being considered which would limit my ability to access some of these investments without jumping through a bunch of hoops.
