Dennis Reed Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Regulating this type of investment is an infringement upon the individuals ability to invest how they see fit. Americans already surrender a portion of their pay to fund a badly run retirement fund Social Security. As money has been deemed speech when it comes to campaign contributions, this appears a violation of ones personal speech in determining how they best see fit how to invest. I believe the same test should be enlisted here when it comes to investing as it does when funding political candidates.

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.
