Al Hawkins Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

N/A

I not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
It is very important that you express your views in your own
wordsyour comments are more likely to be taken seriously
by FINRA if they reflect your own experience and perspective.
Not only do you have the right to share your views,
but the regulators are required to take your comments into
consideration in deciding whether to move forward.

Thank you for taking action.

You shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that you are
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. Tell regulators you do not
need these measures imposed on you.
Other reasons you think these restrictions on your
right to invest should not be put in place.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to your
investment strategies. Consider explaining ways you use
leverage and inverse funds, including that they help you
protect (hedge) your investments or seek enhanced returns,
and if you use them as a limited part of your overall portfolio.
