John Liebler Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It has come to my attention that Finra is considering implementing regulations that restrict investors right to purchase certain securities, that, in FINRA's opinion we ignorant and unsophisticated retail investors lack the intelligence to fully understand. I oppose any such regulation and would remind Finra that it is the duty of government and its agencies to protect us from each other; not from ourselves.

I, as an individual investor, OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST in leveraged investment products.

I should be able to choose the public investment products that are right for me and my family. All investment community should have equal right to access to public investment products, not just the privileged.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding the risks and rewards associated with leveraged investment products.

Hi, I believe I should have the right to choose what public investments that are right for me, not regulators that dont know my personal circumstances or my level of investment knowledge. Public investments need be available to everyone, not just the rich, not just the privileged. I should not have to take a test to purchase inverse/leveraged funds. Im fully aware of the risk and benefits of these types of investments.

Although it is important broker's are fully versed in all aspects of the products they offer and they should know their client as well, the retail investor should be left to self manage as seen fit for themselves. Before investing in an individual company there are many statements, past and future earnings and market and economic conditions to review. In the past I typically would spend 20 to 40 hrs per week reviewing companies for investment consideration.
