Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to extend temporary Supplementary Material .17 (Temporary Relief to Allow Remote Inspections for Calendar Years 2020 and 2021, and Through June 30 of Calendar Year 2022) under FINRA Rule 3110 (Supervision) to include calendar year 2022

I object to this rule that public investments should be restricted to a small number of privileged individuals. Making the public pass tests in order to invest in public funds is elitist and opposes our nations tradition of individual improvement through investing.

I understand that regulators are interested in restricting my ability to invest in certain investments.
With the plethora of information on the internet and other places, I firmly respect an individual's right and responsibility to invest as one feels appropriate for their needs.
