Justin Yackoski Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Rather than imposing arbitrary restrictions or adding more silly click-thrus, how about a focus on making education and training available, giving retail investors and traders the SAME information that institutional investors see. Perhaps the reason retail traders lost money on some of these things is because institutional investors have an artificial advantage created by current rules, and not anything else. There should be a focus on leveling the playing field if you want to focus on anything.

Jeremy Brummel Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I already despise the Jobs Act for limiting investing, and I am concerned with the further use of limiting who can invest based on net worth (or income).

Investing is a risk, of various levels, but it should not be relegated to only the wealthy, or middle class. Else, it is easier to be stuck at low income when a savings account does not even keep up with inflation. The concept of nanny-state laws such as this also takes away the freedom the country was founded on. Freedom, not it's polar opposite, security.
