I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing your arbitrary test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I have been investing and trading in the stock market since 1957 and understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not want, and do not need to have your unnecessary measures imposed on me or anybody else. Please
Dear FINRA administration,
I strongly urge you to allow all investors the opportunity to invest in leveraged and inverse fund classes. These funds can help regular Americans like myself have a simpler tool to invest money responsibly by using such funds to track indexes and hedge our investments in other stocks without having to use options and other more complex instruments. Thank you for taking
I strongly oppose this rule of banning the 3x leverage ETF. Its so unfair to take away our normal peoples limited resources away from us. The big institutes and the rich have all resources to do their investments. The stock market is the most important way for us to grow our assets and 3x ETFs are an very important component or it. I strongly oppose the ban of 3x ETF. Its not fair for us.
It is very disturbing to hear that the FINRA is considering limiting the ability of the public to make its own decisions about investing or trading in the stock market. As so many Americans have finally figured out, the government does not serve the people, it serves the wealthy and the corporations. It would be a pity if you were to use your power to further disenfranchise the public from the
As an individual investor I trade many different leveraged ETFs and am fully aware of the risks. I have been trading for 20 years and am well educated about the markets. I also am a member of several stock market investment clubs. Please leave things the way they are now. Everyone should have the opportunity to invest as they see fit and we are all aware of the risks of trading and the potential
I have found leveraged and inverse ETFs to be extremely valuable in managing the risk in my personal portfolio without having to try to do so by shorting stocks, which carries significantly more risk. There are plenty of warnings and disclaimers when buying these securities, or even reviewing them, to alert investors of the risks. It would be detrimental to my investment strategy if access to
As an investor and former stock broker, I am very opposed to your regulatory agency telling me and the general public what we can an can't invest in, and reserving these investments to specific individuals (ie: high wealth and those in the know) and restricting everyone else. You need to keep to more important matters and away from what Soros funded organizations want you to do. Remember
Inverse funds and leveraged funds are a valuable investment tool for Americans. I use them frequently. I am capable of educating myself. I fired my stock broker after he lost my money back in the bull market of the 1990s, and have been making my own investment decisions since that time. I fear government regulations are ever-expanding and will continue to restrict our rights. I oppose any
Public securities can not be considered public by restricting access to only a certain few. Leverage and inverse funds have been crucial to hedging beta risk during periods of high volatility in my portfolio. Building wealth has become hard enough for younger generations, and adding more barriers to entry past vanilla etf's, mutual funds, or single stocks disincentivizes building equity
Leveraged investments should be available to public investors, regulation on leveraged ETFs will not lower the risk of stock market investments but will rather lower the freedom of the market itself. Power will also shift from individuals to major institutions who are able to meet proposed measures. These institutions will then have even more power against common investors. Leverage will not go
