Dear FINRA,
Public investments should be available to all of the public not just the privileged. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.
I have done my own research and are well capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in
To Whom it may concern: I am 54 years old and have been an active investor since 1997. During that time I have utilized many different investment vehicles to achieve my investing goals including stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds, etfs, leveraged etfs, and even inverse etfs. It was with great disappointment to learn that federal regulators are considering restricting individual investors
I am disagreeing with the concern and motion put forward to regulate ETF products with leverage and inverse properties. As an investor, I am capable of making an informed decision in regards to the risk I am willing to take on with my investments and therefore do not agree with the proposal to restrict these financial products to those with FINRA authorization or special knowledge. If there is an
I oppose restrictions being considered associated with certain investment instruments, e.g., cryptocurrency funds. Various financial instruments are critical to portfolio diversification and risk mitigation. Commodities, precious metals, real estate, hedge funds, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, annuities, insurance policies, trading on margin, short-sales, futures, and
To whom it may concern,
I am strongly opposed to any further regulation/restriction on my ability to invest in the vehicle of my choice by my government regulators. Inverse and/or leveraged funds are very useful instruments for investors in many asset classes and wealth strata. They should not be reserved for any particular clientele. That is the purpose of the available mutual funds and ETFs
I am retired and have been managing my own portfolio for many years. Because of the market volatility I use leveraged funds (specifically SPXU, UVXY, and SQQQ) as a hedging strategy for my entire portfolio. I do not understand why the government should regulate what public investments people should be purchasing.
Any investment is risky and even stocks (e.g. TDOC) can lose 50-80% of their value
Central bankers and government deficit spending have created once unimaginable asset bubbles, risk, and volatility.
To navigate these treacherous conditions, you need to have advanced tools and investments, and leveraged and inverse ETFs are part of that toolkit.
These investments are an important part of managing risk for a small investor like myself. I'm able to deploy a smaller
As a retail trader myself, these regulations are vastly unnecessary. Why all of a sudden is the SEC and FINRA wanting to limit us small traders on Complex Products? This seems like they are in favor of the hedge funds and institutional investors only. I've personally researched all about Leveraged and Inverse Leveraged ETF's before i've invested in them. I know all the
Dear FINRA,
My comment is in response to FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08. I believe we as public investors should be able to decide how we invest our money. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds without having to go through and special process to use them. I have been using leveraged and inverse funds since 2009. They have immensely helped me in my retirement strategy. In
Why does FINRA contemplate taking up a "mother hen" position with respect to "complex products" such as leveraged ETFs? There are no guarantees with respect to any investment strategy, and it is easy to lose a fortune in any number of market instruments -- including standard stock and mutual fund trades.
