Ginette Hehn Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Aren't we living in the land of the free and the home of the brave?? Why, then, are you pushing for regulations that would limit certain people from purchasing leveraged and inverse funds? Why are you creating a system with those who have these privileges and those who are refused these privileges. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Let there be freedom in the stock market. Don't put restrictions on what people can invest in. Let them make their own choices. Please stop this in its tracks. Thank you!

George Thompson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear FINRA, I oppose this legislation because you are instituting more constraints on my freedom to manage my investments as I see fit. We already must review and sign documents from our broker informing us of the risks and potential losses on all leveraged investments before we can purchase those investments. In fact, I had to state my investment objectives were "most aggressive" to Fidelity in order to buy a little downside protection for one of my accounts (VIXX).

Jose Sanchez Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I strongly oppose any limitations that may be placed on investors who want to participate in short funds or leveraged funds. I have been investing in the stock market since 1993 and fully understand the risks inherent in these types of funds. When used properly to hedge a portfolio they can be very important. I strongly suspect that rules like this one being proposed will end up hurting the smaller investor and making the playing field even more tilted in favor of the large investors. Please do not adopt this proposed SEC rule.
