Ted Kawai Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I want to choose my investments and NOT have regulators restrict me. I do not want them "protecting" me. Let me take my own risks. I am a financial professional and don't want to take any test to "qualify me". If I lose my investment, I will not be looking for a bail out. It is my responsibility to assess my own risks. The only exception is if the fund fails to adequately disclosed my risks, or communicates deceptively.

I do not believe in big government.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privilege.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that I am more than capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need regulators to impose anything on me.
Leveraged funds help me protect my investments!

Andrew Lewis Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Hello. While crafting this new regulatory notice, Im sure the appropriate folks thought they were doing the correct thing. I am not so sure. By limiting what I can and cant buy, this new rule would potentially limit my ability to achieve my long term financial goals. The definition of "complex products" is not well defined. I have spent the time to educate myself and should be able to choose what "complex products" are best for me. No one else should be able to tell me that. As an American and investor, only I should have the right to determine what is in my best interest.
