Heavy disclosure on the risks associated with these securities (leveraged funds) already exist. The brokerage community is doing a fine job without any required regulation. Tax payer monies can be better spent. As an example, when I purchase these securities in my account, and I use several brokerage firms, a large warning sign pops up and I can not complete the trade until I have read the note
FINRA and the SEC should focus on ensuring investments have proper and detailed disclosures and not policing what I can and cant do. This proposal further alienates individual and retail investors and gives more power and flexibility to institutional investors. Retail investors should have the same access to products and investors as other market participants. Retail investors should be
I believe it is the prerogative of individual investors to choose for themselves their risk appetite. Placing such strict regulation on leveraged investment vehicles would do very little to protect a select few investors and very much to send destructive ripples through the entire investing community. I strongly oppose such regulation and favor instead a free market approach where, as mentioned
Good evening,
Being able to invest in the products of my choice is extremely important to me and my family. Without inverse ETF products I wouldn't be able to hedge against long positions in our retirement accounts. The only way to manage risk would be to sell down long positions further increasing risk of abrupt market sell offs. Thank you for trusting Americans as individuals to manage
As an individual investor, I should have the flexibility to invest as I choose in the same financial instruments - as, for example, inverse funds - as hedge funds or those of "extreme" wealth. It seems that FINRA seeks to award advantages and privileges to the few (and insiders) and shut out individual investors. I accept market risk. Participating in the market - by definition -
Ive been leveraged and inverse funds such as TQQQ and SQQQ for many years. I am aware the risk associated with these funds. They are volatile but manageable. Some individual stocks are even more volatile than these funds.
I believe majority of individual investors know the risk they are taking when making investment decisions including investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I personally dont
This likely wouldn't protect as intended. Those with this risk appetite will simply search out other risky (and riskier) assets. Restricting the free market in this way will just hurt more than it will help. The risks associated with leveraged and inverse products is well documented, and all brokerages that offer them prompt with warnings before allowing trades. Adding extra bars for entry
I oppose restriction to invest in public investments of leveraged and inverse funds.
We shouldn't have to go through special processes
like passing a test before we can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds.
we are

What makes the American Financial Markets so exceptional is they are the most innovative markets on earth. What this means is anyone with sound knowledge about a product is willing to take the risk only because such products are available and they trust the provider of those products to do the right thing to closely mirror the benchmark index as much as possible. If you take out access to these
I strongly oppose this proposed regulation as I am fully capable as an adult of understanding the risk warnings and invest my income accordingly for my family. Additionally, it is not fair to restrict these investments only to a subset of the public or privileged few. While leveraged funds come with high risk and volatility, they also provide the opportunity to make incredible returns. I invest a
