Allen Templeton Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

In a country where tobacco, alcohol, predatory loans and various forms of gambling are freely available and offten pushed toward the most vulnerable members of society with the blessing of our government your investor restrictions seem laughable. To say the USG actually cares about small investors is ridiculous. If you want to help, then set up programs in schools to educate children in personal finance. Stop schilling predatory loans to High School children. Stop trying to make the financial markets the exclusive playground of the rich.

Bill L Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I do not support this rule in the slightest. You cannot fail to define “complex products” and then make such products difficult for investors to access. What if next year, ETFs are considered “complex”? Further, this hurts normal people like me by making it difficult to access investments that have performed well for me (and which I easily understand how they will perform under any market conditions).
