Leveraged funds have helped me (a middle class American) access investment tools typically reserved for the ultra-wealthy. And my money is limited, so I dont place it in these funds without going through my own due diligence. Its absolutely a disgrace to limit my choice of these funds.
Please do not restrict investments in leveraged ETFs
Investing should be up to the investor,not the government!
This is terrible. More regulation? Really? These investment strategies allow growth and individuals to compete and obtain long term wealth and gains. Removing the ability to use these is against capitalism and free market for Main Street investors. It stops valid hedging and leveraging long term strategies. Stop the madness! Vote out the bureaucrats! Do not pass this highly unprecedented
I should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
Please keep it equal for everybody
Just as it is now
Thanks
I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in publicly traded securities, including leveraged instruments both bullish and bearish. I take the time to understand the risks of these funds, and limit my exposure accordingly.
Leveraged funds are an important part of my portfolio management. During adverse market conditions I use inverse funds for hedging; for multiple reasons I don&#
Dear Regulator/FINRA I am happy to learn of your concern for investors. I am fully aware of the risks involved in buying inverse shares. We are forced to read a prospectus before we invest in these funds. I feel that I should be able to buy any funds of my choice in a 'free' country. I also know that these funds are not usually held for a very long time. I really don't feel that
Here's the deal. Been using these on occasion for years. Never needed any special training, education, or program for use. A simple warning of increased risk should be enough for anyone who can read.
The proposed rule penalizes average investors. Average investors should have the right to invest in vehicles that puts these investors in the same position as hedge fund managers. These hedge funds are not available to average investors. This rule puts them at a distinct disadvantage as investors as it removes a tool for average investors from their "tool belts".
For too long
