Aloha, as a small retail investor I would definitely NOT be in favor of any of any restrictions on my ability to buy and sell publicly-traded ETF's and similar common financial products, so long as the already well-known risks are plainly and honestly disclosed by issuers and brokers in any promotional materials. Trying to accurately determine who is and isn't capable of trading ANYTHING on the stock market would be a fruitless and disruptive nightmare for all concerned. Thus, any enhanced FINRA regulations in this area should be limited to ensuring full issuer disclosure of product risks, and curtailing any false or misleading information provided by brokers. The investing community and country as a whole would be best served by FINRA devoting its limited resources to rooting out rampant investment scams and related criminal behavior, instead of trying to protect individual investors from themselves. Thank you for a chance to provide these comments, Glen Winterbottom.
