Joseph Barbara Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am an experienced investor who is aware of how ETFs and inverse type funds work. Like any other investment there is due diligence and risk, which I accept. I dont think FINRA should over reach and and limit availability and access to these instruments. Instead, they should focus more in investor education, especially to younger generations that are crafting their investment strategies, and not focus on closing access to these instruments.

Darren Dorsey Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Hello - I am contacting you regarding recent communication I have received from my broker that may restrict my ability to invest in leveraged and other higher risk assets. I have spent the last two years studying these securities and understand them very well. I use well thought out risk management and diversity to ensure I would never lose a large sum of money in a major market move. For regulators to prevent me from investing as I wish is preventing someone like me with less capital than institutional investors to benefit from putting my hard earned money to work as I see fit.

To whom it may concern:

It has come to my attention that FINRA is considering significant and severe restrictions on my right to select my own investment vehicles. I don't need "a parent" to oversee my investments and protect me from myself. Candidly, I think this is an overreach of government powers. I am an experienced investor with a background in the financial services industry. I am very aware of all the risks of investing, from "normal" to leveraged. Are you going to take away margin also?
