James Rollins Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

To FINRA,
There's an old saying " buyer beware". It's my responsibility to do my " due diligence" It is un-american to tell people what they can and can't invest in. It's not your job to prevent me from making a bad decision. That role might belong to my wife, but not to you or anyone else.

It IS the job of regulatory agencies to investigate fraud and see that bad actors are removed and punished. There is no problem with you enforcing GAAP and helping to insure proper disclosure pursuant to an investment.

Retail Investor Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

The elevation of chosen investors, creating the “accredited investor” designation that can be achieved solely on the measure of a one's wealth or income was an egregious, unmistakable step toward oligarchy. With existing rules already in place, governmental agencies are now using a wealth/income-based designation to reserve high-risk, high-reward investment opportunities and products for wealthy investors ONLY. This is another unmistakable step towards oligarchy.

As Shareholders of this type of investment, we take our risks under no pressure to buy or own the leverage and inverse fund. I'm concerned about the special process or regulation, if it ever becomes the reality, it restricts our choice or the freedom to strategize our investment. Given the fact that the specific ETF, a high leverage investment type is high risk and we accepted it. If even a special process is introduced, the risk DOES NOT GO away. We DO NOT NEED this special measure and DO NOT NEED this measure imposed on our investment strategy.

I oppose restrictions on the right to invest in public investments. Please let me choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few. I understand the risks and complete loss of principal of these investments. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged funds. There is enough materials and warnings already. Do not need additional measures imposed on us.
