Thomas Susinskas Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I value the freedom to access a broad range of investment products that help me buffer the swings of the market in my portfolio. I want to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities which I choose. I do not need regulators to help me decide what to invest in. I am capable of understanding the risk and reward of my investments and do not need additional measures imposed on me.

Limiting the accessibility of complex financial products to retail investors under the guise of protecting them is disingenuous. Nobody cares more about my money than me and before I throw my capital at something I make sure to understand it. I assume most serious investors are equally rational. This attempt to restrict retail investors appears to be an attempt to protect institutional investors from leveraged contrarian investments from retail. Maybe FINRA should restrict institutional access and require prohibitive barriers to entry for them since they frequently lose so much.
