Venkat Raman Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

a. Public investments should be able to all of the public, not just the privileged
b. I am well capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds together with the risks and certainly don't need special tests / process to pass before we can invest in these types of securities.
c. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.
d. It is better that regulators keep bad actors/vehicles off the street eg. SPACs and other rogue actors that are clearly against public interest than trying to keep the public away from the bad actors / vehicles.

Thomas McDaniel Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

This appears to be further growth of the "Nanny State" and a grab for more regulation and bureaucracy. What happened to the good old days when people were allowed to succeed or fail without government intervention. Is this the same government that now wants to forgive student loans. Citizens should be allowed, without government intervention, to make their own decisions about how to live their lives and invest their money as long as other people are not negatively affected.
