Martin Dupslaff Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
This is unconstitutional, government overreach! You do not have the right to tell me how and where I invest my money.

I have been investing some of my savings in the markets responsibly for almost 20 years and I respectfully oppose plans for restrictions on my right to invest in public investments that professional investors have access to. This kind of regulation would achieve the exact opposite of its intent of protecting "small investors" like myself. I should be able to educate myself, follow investor newsletters of my choice and make my own mistakes (I did but I learned).
As an experienced investor who wishes to diversify my holdings . . . I wish to retain the right to make my own investment decisions . . . having the means to accept losses if they occur . . . and I should have equal rights to invest as I see fit including BITO.
It's unfair that large financial institutions would be allowed to use leveraged instruments while small retail investors would not. FINRA is supposed to protect a fair market but this would only make the market more unfair. Why should FINRA tell me how I can invest my money?
Why should some regulatory have the say over my investment decisions?
This a free speech issue, one of liberties and FINRA overreach.
This is unacceptable and as a shareholder I 100% oppose this. If our voices are not heard by the people managing our capital, I will be liquidating all assets.
This is highly unprecedented behavior and I deserve to invest the way I've been allowed to in the past.
Please do not pass this regulation.
Crypto is the closest thing we have currently that resembles the spirit of what the country was founded on and that is equal opportunity. Every system that was once democratic in nature has now been corrupted to favor keeping the rich rich. This corruption encourages anyone wanting to get anywhere other then the welfare line, to pay whatever unnecessary fees, taxes, or whatever exorbitant monetary compensation for services you could barely say rendered. Crypto is the Neil Armstrong stepping out onto the surface of the moon of our generation.
