Do not take away my rights to decide how, when, and what legitimate investments to make. I am in charge of my financial future and make decisions based upon my situation, risk appetite, and personal goals. I can read risk documentation to understand my decisions and DO NOT want regulators determining what is right for myself and family.
I believe that it is important to separate retirement investments into diverse vehicles reduce risk and protect investments over time. Please do not restrict our capability to invest in public investments including cryptocurrency funds. My family is more than capable of investigating, researching, and understanding the risk involved with investing a portion of our hard earned money in the funds
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST
Investors should have the free right to choose whatever that's suitable for their strategies. Not to mention that many funds on this list are used heavily to hedge our portfolios and reduce the risk exposure. By limiting our rights, you are actually putting more risk to our portfolios rather than protecting them.
Think Twice!
Comments: I am an investor, an advisor, a father, a son, husband and business owner. I have used these leveraged products in small amounts and I feel there is a lot of warnings, disclaimers, etc on these already. If anything maybe make the warning bigger or more bold but don't limit the access of these. That would in my mind do the following 1-increase risk because it would limit volume and
This rule is unacceptable. There is no place to limit "risky" investments from the people. If someone decides to invest in something they do not fully understand, they are accepting the risk that they may loose significant amounts of money. There is no reason to protect people from these. Everyone should be provided with free choice to invest where they wish. Worst case scenario
Comments: The removal or increasing the difficulty to of access to these leveraged funds from small traders would in effect force traders into areas which are also very risky? These leverage and inverse funds give great flexibility to hedge ones positions against a portfolio disaster. Self directing ones funds should be an exercise in risk management not risk taking. Thank you
1. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. 2. Explain that you are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Tell regulators you do not need these measures imposed on you. 3. As a small investor in a volatile market driven by big players investments need to be protected by leveraged hedging. 4. It attacks small investors
I do not need regulators to control how I invest my money. This is obstruction to a free and fair market. I should not have to have an abundance of wealth in order to invest my money, in any type of investment. It is my duty to accept those risks and not for others to determine what is the correct risk level for my portfolio. Please stop trying to control the market.
I would like to speak in opposition to rule changes re leveraged ETF's. These investment products have allowed me to hedge some of my risk in the markets. These products are cost effective. They allow me to keep most of remaining investments in conservative low beta alternatives, while allowing a small portion of my portfolio to hedge some of the risk. Steve Davis
Dear FINRA,
I am an RIA with a CFF certification and I am opposed to this. The proposed rule would put regulators in charge of my clients' funds. As a 12 year industry veteran, I understand the risks involved with these investments; consequently, any client considering these investments (which is rare, I might add) is *well aware* of the risks involved. Please consider not adding
