I am bumping up against this issue on IBKR. When I invest, I like to be able to choose what I do - regardless of risk. I don't mind if the Brokerage wants to supply me with information, but I do not wish to be controlled. My financials are not controlled in other areas of my life and I can easily lose large amounts of money in many different ways. I am an adult; inform me, keeping
I oppose any regulations that further restrict my ability to invest and manage my own investments as I see fit. It is my money and I know from experience that even with a leveraged fund investment it is still safer that letting someone else invest it for me. The financial industry if full of operators looking to rip off the average investor and you should be looking to more highly regulate them,
Dear FINRA,
I respectfully ask you to please refrain from enacting any additional regulations on this type of funds. A statement that notifies the buyer of the risk already has to be signed!
There is no need for any additional onerous regulations in buying this type of fund in a free market environment.
The purchase of these funds should not be limited to the super wealthy or financial experts
I am opposed to any new regulation proposed by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) limiting access to publicly traded vehicle. Disclosure, due diligence, and free choice should remain unhindered by more subjective regulatory law.
I do use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge a broad range of equity investments with simplicity. These sector or index ETFs are used with leverage to
As an American I earn my money and am educated enough to make my own investments. Why should someone who is rich already be allowed to make investments while I can't? You claim it's because they're financially savvy, but I disagree. How many millionaires have gone through bankruptcy and how many are very uneducated? The answer is a lot. If I want to risk my hard earned
Please keep leveraged funds available to all investors.
I run a systematic quarterly rebalancing plan that is powered by leveraged ETFs. I know what I am doing. The proper use of these leveraged products is a key part of my financial plan.
If leveraged funds are restricted to accredited or wealthy investors only, the wealth gap in the country will increase as the rich get richer in sophisticated
I am a retired business owner and a 30+ year stock market investor. I am very capable of investing in Leveraged and Inverse Funds. I should not have to have a minimum net worth or go through any special tests before being able to invest in public securities. Please do not regulate or put limitations on Leveraged or Inverse Funds. This will greatly reduce my ability to reach my financial goals to
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I also should not have to take a test or go through ay other special process as I have a very good financial advisor who makes sure I understand my investments and any risks involved. I don't need these measures imposed on me.

There is no reason to impose this restriction. Investors are already accepting risks when opening an account and imposing harsher restrictions only serves to make average investors have bigger hurdles to cross when it comes to returns over a long period of time. The free market should remain free, passing an arbitrary test does not mean someone is a better investor.
Stop putting more
I oppose adding restrictions to trading financial products deemed "complex" because people are ultimately responsible for managing their own money. Regulating these products would make it harder for people to maximize their returns, hedge, and speculate. Speculation is much maligned, but ultimately, it keeps markets efficient and people should have ready access to high-risk/high
