Dear FINRA, My opinion on FINRA's proposed limits is that may restrict my access to leveraged Funds or to disqualify me from trading Those types Funds or other "complex products". If you have a strong understanding of the characteristics and risks of leveraged funds, but I am not a professional. I do understand that their purpose is for short-term active trading, and that they
Dir Sir/Madam It is none of your business what investments are right for myself and my family. I am an adult capable of making my own decisions and living with the consequences of those decisions. Furthermore there should be no restrictions on the types of investments available to the general public. All investments available to the "privileged few" should be available to the general
I have been using leveraged EFT's for many years and that is a major source of my yearly income. I'm well aware of the risks and I'm willing to take those risks. I've educated myself over the years in most aspects of the stock markets and use options extensively. Most financial advisors know little about using these investment techniques and are afraid to
I as an investor, not regulators should be able to choose public investment which are right for myself & family.
We should not have to go thru any special process or passing a test to use these tools. I am extremely capable in understanding the risks of these inverse and leveraged funds.
These leverage and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. I use them to protect
Hi,
I use leveraged products as a part of my portfolio allocation.
I dont know if you have read the 2008 paper by Yale researchers Ayres and Nalenluff titled, Life-Cycle Investing and Leverage: Buying Stock on Margin Can Reduce Retirement Risk.

I was unaware until recently that you [REDACTED] might be hatching another scheme to interfere with my ability to hedge risk and/or speculate in the financial markets. Even to the regulatory mind it should be obvious that investors either find these products useful or they avoid them, a principle that applies to all the ETFs and ETNs in the marketplace. Your franchise doesn't empower you to
Please do not restrict my right or ability to invest. I select the funds I wish to invest in based on my own research, knowledge and risk tolerance. I enter the stock market with full knowledge that it involves risk and no investment is guaranteed to be profitable. With that knowledge, I proceed with the investments I believe are a best fit for the long term success of my family. Please do not
Dear Sir or Madam: One aspect that I love about the financial markets in this country is the FREEDOM we have to invest in a wide variety of investment options, such as leveraged funds. I am grateful that we live in a country that believes investors are intelligent enough to ascertain the risks and rewards of such investment vehicles. BUT WAIT! So regulators are considering limiting access to such
Hey, I get it. In today's litigious society everyone wants to blame someone else for their own poor decisions. That's just part of where the world is going. I own my own mistakes and because of that I feel that I should be able to make my own decisions. I own small amounts of a few levered funds because it's fun. It adds a little excitement to an otherwise very conservative
Leveraged funds are important for young small time investors like myself to be able to have access to similar financial vehicles that large investors and institutions are able to use. I use the LETF's to be able to construct a balanced 60/40 portfolio that provides a higher risk-adjusted return than a stand alone index fund would be able to. Imo, there are many stocks that bare much
