Kris Esch Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I am against the FINRA Proposed Rule #22-08. Under the long-standing disclosure-based system, investors have the right to decide which public equities, bonds and funds they want to buy. Rule #22-08 upends that principle, giving regulatorsnot methe power to decide what public securities I can and cannot invest in. Investors have the right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions. I am capable of understanding my investment choices and their risks and do not want these measures imposed on me.

I use inverse funds and do not see a reason for FINRA making such choices more complicated, or, even worse, outright impossible. Just today, Direxion announced reverse splits for two of my holdings CWEB and YINN. I understand such occurrences and have not seen anything untoward going on where I feel in need of FINRA to be involved between me and my investment purchases in this regard.

Drake Gomez Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority: I stand strongly opposed to regulatory efforts that limit my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. As a non-professional investor, I am nonetheless capable of understanding the risks of leveraged and inverse funds, and have used these funds prudently to diversify my portfolio. I do not need government oversight of how I invest my money, nor do I think it is equitable and fair to limit who can or cannot invest in these funds (such as, on the basis of net worth).

Joshua Berg Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

This is class warfare, plain and simple. I oppose any restriction to my right to invest. Public investments should be available to all of the public. There should be no special processes, tests, or approval in order to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. Basically, too many average Joes saw this [REDACTED] of a market crash coming and decided to hedge like smart investors, but now that's really going to make all the crime you want to commit a whole lot harder, right? Do you know what happens when you corner a frightened animal? We the People see You.
