Kenneth Smalewich Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. That is why we have certified financial consultants/brokers. I am capable of understanding my investments and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. FINRA's job is to ensure that investment transactions are conducted with in the existing laws and regulations.

LaNell Mueller Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I, not anyone else, should be the individual that would make the final decision on what investment in which my funds should be invested. There is no way that in a country that has so long been the bastion of freedom that my right to make that decision should be curtailed and only allowed to be made by someone who does not know my needs and desires. The idea that someone make my decisions is abominable. As far as I'm concerned it is simply another way to take away my constitutional rights.
