Gary Thompson Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Per your consideration of limiting my investment options, I believe this would be an infringement on the publics right of self determination. I have been involved in closely in investment markets for approaching 45 years, studying and actively participating. I find that I am frequently more informed and a better manager than even many professionals. LIMITING the investment vehicles I have at my disposal now would be a travesty and impediment to my effort of preservation of my savings.

My broker currently has requirements that limit my trading of stock based upon a criteria that includes net worth and trading experience. I believe that these requirements allow me to conservatively trade within the construct of responsible investing. These brokerage requirements far surpass the requirements necessary for real estate purchasing or other commercial investment that I have engaged in. My trading of leveraged and inverse funds have constituted a significant part of my stock trading portfolio has several years.
