Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) a proposed rule change to amend FINRA Rule 7620B (Trade Reporting Facility Reporting Fees) to modify the trade reporting fees applicable to participants that use the FINRA/NYSE Trade Reporting Facility (“FINRA/NYSE TRF”).
To Whom it May Concern. I do not like the current SEC to be changing the rules. In a democracy, people should have a right to invest their money as they see fit. Government is not responsible to protect people from everything. In the world of the financial markets, investors must follow the rule of Caveat Emptor. If government becomes too regulatory in a capitalist economy, then it is no longer a
I should be able to decide what's best for me and my family. I have two college degrees and am very capable of deciding what and what not to invest in. I read various financial newsletters regularly. Some I agree with and some I dont. I am best qualified, after years of research, to invest my own money. I am more concerned about my finances than any advisor.
I have been investing for over 20 years, mainly in common stocks but sometimes in so-called “complex products” like futures, options, leveraged and inverse ETPs, etc. I use them when I believe they are suitable tools for the market situation at that moment.

Comments: The education around the risks of these products has been openly communicated to me and other investors. Investing in any of these products is the sole risk of the investor. Many want to stay away from them. For me, it provides a great opportunity for my investment goals. These products cater to a unique need in the market and preventing anyone with those investment goals from accessing
I understand that you are thinking of restricting my right to invest in certain public investments ("complex products"). Please stop trying to regulate everything!
These investments (such as leveraged funds) should be available to everyone, no matter one's income; and passing a test to prove I understand them should not be necessary.
It is one thing to fine a financial
I am a modest net worth investor but am familiar with so-called hedge funds.
I have used such funds to provide some hedging to my investment portfolio and consider them a key part of my financial planning.
A policy that tries to eliminate risk from investment decisions is doomed to failure and will, inevitably, create negative consequences.
I oppose restrictions to my right to make my own
I understand per the FINRA Reg Notice #22-08 I may not be able to buy leveraged and inverse funds and dozens of other popular investments deemed to be complex. Please reconsider this negative stance. My broker/financial expert has my permission to make investment decisions, including into leveraged and inverse funds. He is knowledgeable and very capable of making financial decisions for me. That
