Victor Cabias Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Regulators,

It is not your responsibility to decide what I can and cannot invest in. Sure, prevent illegal things like pump and dumps, ponzi schemes, and boiler rooms, but do them withold the opportunity to make a reasonable decision on what I can or cannot do with my money because you don't think I'm worthy, smart enough, or rich enough already to do so. Personal responsibility is important, and if I'm wrong, I have to live with that, not you. You're not my mother, so stop acting like it.

Robert Barber Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have been investing for over 30 years. I have a passion for studying the markets and paying attention to the economy and market cycles. Over 30 years I have personally experienced the best bull markets and bear markets of the past 75 years. If there is one thing I have learned, there is NO reason to be bullish (long the stock market) 100% of the time, and there is No reason to be bearish 100% of the time. I have my own indicators which tell me when it's time to be Bullish and when to be Bearish.

In general, I stick to conservative broad index funds for my investments, especially retirement. That said, I also see value in investing in funds like reverse volatility funds from time to time when the opportunity to benefit from stability presents itself.

I am very well versed in the risks of the market, which is why the majority of my investments are well diversified, but if want to invest a small amount of money in riskers assets or funds I believe in, I don't see any value in being prohibited.
