I should be able to buy leveraged and inverse funds. People buy options. Options are very risk. I do not have time to do research on options. Leveraged and inverse funds are good tools to improve my investment return. Regulators should not set limitations for individuals to buy leveraged and inverse funds.
Dear FINRA Although I am not a big and important investor, however I value my current ability to invest in as diverse a range of assets as possible. I do not request or want regulations to protect me, I will calculate and decide the risk. Therefore, please desist from considering restrictive regulations in any investment category.
I'm both a financial advisor and an investor, i find the the leveraged etf's are necessary to mitigating long term risk. by themselves they are a problem. but when used corrrectly they help lower volatility of the overall market, and individual investor portfolios, especially since there is no other way to easily hedge the down side in retirement accounts.
I'm fully aware of the risk involved with leveraged trades. That's why I put effort into the research I perform. I DO NOT need the Government "looking out for my best interest ". I love the freedom of investing outside of my TSP. This love diminishes with every regulation that aims to lookout for us unaccredited investors
We would like levered ETFs to remain for retail investors. We understand the risks and can hedge these with cash, government credit, etc. These ETFs enable us opportunities for equitable wealth generation that makes Americans and America stronger. Please keep current ETF line up. Thank you
I STRONGLY oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. It is an extremely important element to any investor, and we should be able to invest in the way we chose, fully understanding the risks. Nobody should be excluded from investment opportunities available in the stock market and broader investment world.
More regulation is not what is needed. Everyone should have the freedom granted to elites. Each investor needs leverage and inverse investment choices to mitigate risk. Break the cycle of, we are the government and we can help you. History proves government reduces freedom of choice which is not intended by U S A founding.
I am an informed and educated retail investor and i make investments in leveraged ETFs that are indexed to various sectors to hedge risk. I need this ability and it is my right to invest as i see fit for my success. I believe investments tied to sector indices are no more riskier than individual stocks which i invest in as well.
The strategies implemented in leveraged and inverse publicly traded funds are important to me and should have no special process or tests for investors like me. I am capable of understanding the ins and outs and risks associated with these type of funds and they help me protect my investments and help with overall returns to my portfolio.
I support the idea of allowing investors to choose the investment vehicles that they believe will best serve them. I do not support the idea of establishing hurdle after hurdle for investors to buy or sell investments. Investors weigh their risks and benefits prior to investment. I am requesting that our ability to invest not be further restricted or limited.
