FINRA,
I am opposed to the new regulations further restricting retail investors. As a retail investor it is my responsibility to manage my own risk and be aware of the stocks and securities in which I invest. I am a grown man and do not need you to act as my mother. The risk is my own and your regulations will just make it harder for investors like me to profit off of securities and stocks. So
This is an insane idea to add more regulation to Leverage ETFs. From a practical perspective, think of how much higher risk there is involved investing in a single stock like Tesla, Netflix, Nvidia vs. a leveraged ETF like SSO or UPRO that is allocated over hundreds of stocks. Would you ever consider limiting how much of a single stock an individual can own? Of course not, yet that is a far
Please let us invest in the leveraged investment products. This is only tool we have for small investors to hedge our investments with very small risk. Without this option, we would not be able to invest long term without safely hedging our long-term investments. These products are very handy when the risk is high like current period. Without these products, we may have to sell everything
Comments: Good day. I am trading the leveraged ETFs after spending long time of learning about it. Now I am successfully trading these ETFs and making money. If these ETFs are no longer available to me for trade, that will be a great loss for me. If someone trading leveraged ETFs without knowing about the risks, its his/her responsibility. Why I should be punished for others action. I also see
I have spent 50 years perfecting my investment process both personally and for clients. I managed to survive and flourish through 8-9 bear markets. I accomplish this by using the most broadest of diversifications including being able to sell short markets. Inverse etfs including leveraged ones are important tools to have in the tool box to accomplish this. they are convenient and in many ways
Why is it that regulators want to take so much time taking away the ability for the average person to actually use a product that can let them risk and succeed toward more financial freedom and security. Products such as leveraged ETF's and Futures are complex but the individuals that invest know the risks and should have the same RIGHT to invest as any other fat cat on wall street that
The proposed regulations are, quite frankly, stupid. Leverage is easy to understand, and while it carries risks, it would be exclusionary and harmful to prevent people from investing in a basic public security that happens to be leveraged. Such regulation is inconsistent with the risks and benefits I already accept as an adult. There is not regulation to prevent me from spending $20,000 of my own
I was made aware that FINRA is seeking to put restrictions on L&I investments to "protect" investors. I'd like to offer up my experience as an example of why this is not needed. Details are below but I'd like to emphasize first:
I can make my own decisions about investments and do my own research. I don't need to prove to anyone that I
Hello, I am a retail investor who regularly buys and sells leveraged index fund products. I trade these funds based on a strategy I have developed with great research and care, and know full well the risks involved. Leveraged index funds provide retail investors access to position-sizing and diversification strategies that would be too onerous for such investors to implement themselves.
I really don't feel like I need the government to "protect" me from risky investments like inverse funds. This is a free market and I would like to be free to invest in anything I deem appropriate. If a trade goes bad, I don't expect anyone to bail me out. This is my money and my choice. I have to accept the risk I am taking on.
Retail investors shouldn
