Bruce Hanni Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose restrictions being considered associated with certain investment instruments, e.g., cryptocurrency funds. Various financial instruments are critical to portfolio diversification and risk mitigation. Commodities, precious metals, real estate, hedge funds, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, annuities, insurance policies, trading on margin, short-sales, futures, and cryptocurrency are just some of the various financial instruments that should be readily available to investors.

John Ross Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

While I believe that no one should invest in anything they do not understand, I do feel that any investor should be allowed to invest in any publicly available investment without restriction. Today, stocks are overvalued, rates and inflation are rising, and the government is printing money like never before. Will it all end badly? Of course it will, but if you put restrictions in place on what an investor can buy, such as an inverse ETF as a hedge, you limit the options a small investor has.
