I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Just become someone isn't already a "high net worth individual" or doesn't have a high salary job, doesn't not automatically mean they are not intelligent enough to understand how investing works. Even more "complex" investing strategies can be learned and
I object strongly to the proposed regulations that would restrict my ability to invest in inverse funds. I am fully aware of the risks associated with such funds, and invest in them to reduce the risks associated with "long" stock and bond funds. My investment in an inverse fund is only a small fraction of my net worth, but my ability to invest at the time of my choosing -- and
I believe FINRA's proposed limits try to address a problem that does not exist. Retail investors should have the freedom to decide what to do with their money and Direxion does a great job with several resources in their website to inform us about the risks of leverage investments.
