Ashlyn Melendez Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It is one thing to protect the retirement assets of individuals from extremely risky or highly speculative investments but complete overreach to attempt to restrict investments in taxable accounts. You would be better focused attempting to level the playing field in our flawed public markets. Why have so many companies gone private? Why is the Fed allowed to so manipulate markets for so long? Correct the flaws and stop trying to control individuals behavior.

Kelton Mitchell Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To Whom it May Concern:

I am very concerned about potential regulation of leveraged and inverse funds since this is my primary investment strategy. Any restriction of my right to invest as I deem appropriate will significantly impact my financial life, and provide no benefit to me, and potentially cause great harm. Freedom of choice is especially important in these turbulent times. This is as true with finance as it is for health. I strongly urge that you respect freedom of choice as this is a founding principle of our country that many have paid for with their lives.

While I appreciate attempts to protect investors, I believe that we need less interference in our free markets, not more. We should also acknowledge a regulatory agency grows it's own power by expansion of regulation. However, I believe such interference is definitively not in investors, or greater still, the American taxpayers best long-term interest. An attempt to protect investors from complicated investment choices by complicating administrative regulations seems a bit ironic.
