This new purposed Rule is very concerning and cause's more harm than good, It is not the job of Regulator's to decide what individuals can purchase.The autonomy of what an individual buys with their own money, that should be in there hands, only their Hands. allowing individual investors to utilize these tool, provides access to more affordable professional strategy's! THIS IS OVER
I strongly oppose this arbitrary regulation that arbitrarily singles out leveraged and inverse etfs to high net worth individuals. This is clearly a case where regulators are falling prey to political pressure to "protect" investors. These funds are incredibly useful in instances where trading futures is not available. In addition, the risks inherent to inverse and leveraged funds are
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public,not just the privileged. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I don't need the government to baby-sit me. Furthermore, leveraged and inverse funds help me to hedge my investments and, with the
This proposed regulation seems GROSSLY UNNECESSARY. Individual investors should have access to a wide variety of investment options. They can assess the level of risk they are willing to take on any particular investment. What data do you have that shows any significant number of investors that have been harmed by simple access to these products? Fraud must be prosecuted when it is found to exist
I oppose restrictions on my rights to invest as I wish in public investments in regulated markets. I should be able to choose (without restriction) which investments are right for me, not just the privileged financial class. I shouldn't have to go through some special process or pass a test before having access to any public securities including, but not limited to: inverse funds, leveraged
My wife and I are perfectly capable of understanding the risks associated with investing, including leveraged and inverse funds. We've done our research and we do not need nor do we desire any government intervention, prohibition, or restrictions imposed on our investment strategy. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to our investment strategies. We include these fund types to
It is my belief that a market should be open and fair and that each market participant regardless of funds or experience should be able to have access to the same tools and be able to take on whatever risk they feel comfortable with. By denying some investors access to products and not others, you are creating a two tier system which is the antithesis of a free market. You are also giving one
I like the ability to do my own research and due diligence when making investment decisions, restricting access to public securities and markets heads down a very slippery slope that can lead to many other restrictions and freedoms. I have no problem with be advised of the potential greater risk that is involved with any investment, that certainly falls under education and fair disclosure which
I am able to make my own investment decisions. I do not require the federal government and certainly not unelected folk to try to "protect" me from funds that I use to offset the risks of other investments. The effect of the proposed regulations is such that it will make it much more difficult for me to protect myself and it will make such funds only available to the
Dear Regulators, (FINRA)
I understand my investments and the risk involved in my trads. I should not have to go through any special process before investing in public securities. The fund I am in allows trades for up markets and down markets which allows me to make up my loss if any by shorting different funds. Like today's market, I have been able to make money for my IRA instead of
