John DiFonzo Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Freedom and self-determination are essential to a better life for me and my family. I have spent much time and dollars to equip myself for trading options and futures to which I have been able to better my returns and hedge my accounts from future declines. Therefore, I say that I should have the freedom to engage with these instruments without interference to achieve my financial objectives. Thank you, John DiFonzo

It is not the responsibility of FINRA to limit my access to publicly available investment vehicles. The investments under consideration for restriction have clear, concise, and readily-available prospectuses that explain the risks and further restrictions or tests should not be permitted. Financial and securities restrictions should exist to protect investors from illicit or deceptive practices; the proposed vehicles, being publicly available and subject to current regulatory oversight, should not be subject to any additional restriction.

Hello,

We ask of you that please do not take away our ability to invest freely, as we have been able to do until now. This would add an extra burden and hinder the ability to be able to utilize means to help us. In times such as these, when so many are struggling, it is important for us to be able to try to succeed as much as possible in achieving our goals.

Thank you for your time,
Joseph Shajnfeld

I am not a wealthy individual put I have been investing for years and have learned more about investing over that time. I am using leveraged investments and I believe i know how to use them. I don't always make money on an investment, but no one does. When I first started investing, I made some poor investments and lost money. I think warning people about things is good, but for the government to tell people what they should and should not invest in is a big abridgement of our rights and will ultimately lead to bigger problems in the future.
