Please stop these lowest common denominator type rules. They ruin the ecosystem and don't provide the intended relief and benefit.
Leveraged index funds are similar to buying individual stock in terms of risk. If leveraged index funds are taken away, then investing in individual stocks should be as well. Members of the public do not have to go through any special procedures to buy publicly traded stock, nor should they have to for leveraged index funds.
Please do not impose excessive restrictions on ETNs and other exchange traded products
Let people invest The way that they want to
Risk is part of the process of thriving. We take a risk when we get married, when we buy a home or when we take a new medication. Do not take away from people the risk of being part of this era changing investment opportunity. [REDACTED]
I oppose these regulations. I believe I should be able to choose which investments are right for me and my family.
The proposed rule presupposes that most people are Incapable of making informed decisions about their investing. It is tantamount to prior restraint on the right of individuals to determine for themselves what companies they will invest in.
I should have the ability to make investment decisions based on my educational and financial abilities. I dont need to spend additional time and money demonstrating how and why I want alternative investment vehicles in order to diversify my holdings. Furthermore, enacting this kind of rule creates further precedents for greater restrictions on how, when, and what type of investments are made
I strongly object to proposed restrictions on my personal investment options for our family's retirement income strategy, including buying leveraged and inverse funds. I'm quite pleased with and confident in my relationship with my financial advisor in this regard, and am very much opposed to the addition of new gates and hurdles in the process, no matter how well intended.
