Don Greiner Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I believe investors should be able to choose what investments that they want to invest in. I used these investments as a hedge for my portfolio. I do think that the acknowledgement of risk and investment experience should play a role in whether investors can invest in leveraged products, but the approval process should be similar to the process for getting approval to trade stock options. It shouldn't be more restrictive than that process. An investor should read the prospectus to understand the risk and they should have 2 years of investing experience.

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.
