Christopher Bruns Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

Leveraged funds have become an important part of my investment strategy. Adding any sort of limitations or restrictions on my ability to utilize these investments will have significant negative impacts on my ability to participate in financial markets which I believe should be open to all. The focus should be on investor education and risk disclosure, not limiting access based on an arbitrary list of investor qualifications.

Do not prevent individual investors from being able to invest in leveraged and inverse funds such as are offered by Pro Shares. These are no more difficult to invest in than are all other securities.

Regulate the market manipulation by large corporations, brokerages, and funds which buy and sell to move market prices. Regulate use of warrants which allow corporate officers to purchase stocks at substantial price discounts. Regulate corporate stock buy-backs.

Laurelin Hefter Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

It is unacceptable to require an individual to have high net worth in order to invest. That needs to be removed from the bill. I find it appropriate to require education and a literacy test in order to access certain business funding/investment opportunities. However, additional safe guards should be added such as green trading, green business and ethical business practice exams. This is the only way the bill would hold substance.
