Maya Burkes Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose the attempt to restrict the rights of investors to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. While I see that it is an attempt to prevent possible loss by inexperienced investors, failure is sometimes a necessary learning tool. Rules made to avoid the odds of failures are simply crutches for the inexperienced and unnecessary barriers to those attempting to learn. There are already limits in place that suffice. What will be done when those who pass the test, still lose money?

Paul LoMonaco Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Dear Regulators, I understand the need to protect people from fraud, but regarding a persons individual ability to make decisions on their own personal investments should be left to the individual. Anyone who invests in any of the EFTs being considered for restriction, without fully researching the investment beforehand is unwise. Most investors who seek to invest in these type investments are savvy investors. I dont believe controlling these investments across the board is warranted and I highly recommend you reconsider your views on controlling these types of investments.
