I not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
My Investment Advisor of many years experience has managed my investments to my satisfaction for over 15 years.
The very idea that an unknown, to me, group of so called regulators will over ride what investments I select and all other "none of their business" personal information is totally un- acceptable and totally infuriating to me personally.
Get out of my private business!!!!!
Thank you for taking action.
