Amy Fischer Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Investors not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for us. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. There shouldn't be a process for determining who is capable in investing in complex securities. I use leveraged inverse funds to protect my investments, as hedges in a bear market. Why would you take this strategy away from smaller individual investors? How dare you allow only the wealthy to employ wealth building and wealth preserving strategies.

DM Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am concerned that these proposed rules would give FINRA a big step toward micromanaging what is an allowable investment for the average citizen. I believe the existing rules are sufficiently protective (if properly followed by the industry) of the average investor. So there is not a pressing need to add this type of complexity to the investment process in order to deal with "complex" investments.
