Kristen Egan Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose any regulations that restrict my right to invest how and when I wish. When I invest my own money- I should have the right to choose any public investment that I deem appropriate, regardless of my net worth. I should not have to be submitted to any special processes to access public securities such as leveraged and inverse funds. I am an educated individual and perfectly capable of understanding the types of investments I am choosing and their associated risks.

Ralph Forrester Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I wish to express my opposition to considerations by FINRA to restrict rights to invest in leveraged and/or inverse funds and other investments considered to be "complex".

With over 30 years of investing experience and formal credentialing (CFP), I consider myself fully capable of understanding the risks of investing in such funds.

Leveraged and inverse funds are an extremely important element of my personal investing strategy. Rather than a risk, these investments provide me a critical tool to REDUCE my risk to market volatility.
