Sean Roberts Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08
I strongly disagree with the notion that more "guardrails" are needed for retail investors dealing in so-called "complex products." While some products are truly complex and require an investment of time for an investor to fully understand their risks and rewards, other products you name--particularly options--are not truly complex or difficult to understand with a modicum of study. All investing carries risk, even time tested buy-and-hold forever.
