DON'T TELL ME HOW TO INVEST, UNLESS HEDGE FUNDS AND FUND MANAGERS ARE PUT UNDER THE SAME EXACT RESTRICTIONS.
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.
Why goverment always think that I am so stupid to manage my own money?
Leveraged and inverse funds are important for mine
investment strategies.
I've been investing in "complex" securities for decades, don't tell me I don't know what is right for me and my family.
I am not a child, and am fully capable of making my own decisions about investing, just like I can buy my own house, car, and insurance. I don't need regulators telling me how to invest. I am fully aware of all the risks. I have been investing in leveraged ETFs for more than 15 years, and use them for hedging and for decreasing the amount I invest to get a similar result. Another
Please be advised that I oppose restrictions FINRA wants to impose on public investors. Leveraged & inverse funds are an important part of any diversified portfolio. Having to meet certain criteria to invest in inverse funds restricts my ability to enhance my overall return. Public investments should be available to all, not a select few.
I have been investing for approximately 30 years and understand investments come with risks. I also understand inverse funds and how they work. We do not need any more cumbersome regulations imposed on investing.
This suggestion to restrict is UnAmerican and is counter-productive. The ETFs make it easy to go long or short the markets just like the big companies and billionaires do.
You should not discriminate against individuals, that is illegal.
Thank you for considering an alternative view.
Horrible idea. Let investors take their own risks. Maintaining ability of regular investors to use these funds allow us to invest with lower costs due to reasonable volume.
