Hello:
I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed rules for investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Its a violation of my rights as an investor and imposes unreasonable burden on my ability to trade in a timely manner. I consider myself well informed and do not need additional regulations to guide my investment choices. Leveraged and inverse products are an important part of my
I believe that current disclosures and restrictions are adequate to inform me regarding risks of leveraged and inverse investments. Restricting the options to invest in such alternative and hedging options could, in fact, take away very important portfolio risk managements tools, which could trigger more volatility due to investors like myself selling positions they would like to hold longer
Pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission request, FINRA makes short sale trade data publicly available for OTC trades in exchange-listed securities reported to a FINRA Trade Reporting Facility (TRF) and FINRA’s Alternative Display Facility (ADF).

Hi,
There are people who are middle class who know what leverage and inverse products do and how they work. why is it that every regulation which provides an advantage has to do with networth?

I do not support limiting the public from trading in any public investment or instrument. While I do think we need regulations from scams and ponzi schemes, legitimate risky investments should be allowed for everyone.

I as an investor am well informed of the risk associated with a leveraged fund but am also aware of the benefits of these as they allow me to have insurance against market swings without having to allot a large portion of my portfolio.
They have a place for a personal investor like me so I do not have to invest a larger portion of my portfolio in riskier option trading or short selling for
I am writing to contest in the strongest possible way your intent to limit investment in leveraged or inverse funds. As adults, it is every American's right to make investment choices on their own. Whether they are smart or dumb choices, regulators have no business acting as nannies for grown adults.
Rather than putting the burden on the individual investor, you should focus on the
I am requesting that retail investors like myself retain the ability to invest in leverage and inverse funds. These types of funds will continue to exist, why limit them only to affluent investors through professional firms? I utilize these funds to protect and balance my portfolio as a hedge against downturns and also to realize higher ratio returns without having to buy on margin. My Fidelity
