It's time for the federal government and all federal regulators take a look at our Constitution. You govern at the consent of the governed. Does that mean anything to you? Stop taking away our liberties. You have no right to diminish our rights. As an investor of over 45 years, I fully understand all risks associated with my investments. I don't need you to protect me. I need you to
I am a disabled individual who has managed to support myself and my daughter for the last 5 years by trading stocks. During that time my net worth has never exceeded $150,000. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT TRADING LEVERAGED ETFs ! My brokerage (Fidelity) Required that I read and acknowledge a very stringent warning about the risks before allowing me to trade these securities, and
You not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that you are capable of understanding
Although I understand to some degree the desire to prevent people from suffering considerable financial losses, I believe this is a wrong approach. Our representatives should not be using legislation to parent the general population as in the "nanny state". It is my choice to invest in riskier investments. At most, if a person interested in buying riskier investments such as
Regarding the proposed FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08, I strenuously object to ANY legislation restricting ANY investment I choose to make. I have my own best interests at heart -- regulators only want power and could care less whether I have access to the investments I need for my own personal financial security. It is appalling how patronizing, paternalistic, meddlesome, and tyrannical
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 should not have to go through any special process before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
This is written to voice opposition to the proposed FINRA Notice. As an individual investor, there is no need for such heavy-handed regulation by a government agency.
We investors have the right to decide which equities, funds, bonds, etc we want to buy and sell -- this should not change. Yes, clear information needs to be provided to us by brokers, funds, cryptocurrencies, etc.
Comments: I am strongly against limited access to leveraged and inverse ETF's. They are not in any way conceptually confusing and they are always accompanied by significant disclaimers describing their short term nature and the extra volatility expected. Limiting access to these products would decrease my ability to effectively manage the risk in my portfolio, especially on the short side.
I oppose any action that limits the right of any America citizen to invest in Public investments. I am fully capable of making my investment decisions on my own and am fully capable of understanding the risks should I choose to make them. I do not need to pass a test to demonstrate my investment acumen. The results of my investments will be the testament of my knowledge. This is beyond the role
The responsibility for researching the investments that are right for any investor fall solely on that investor. While larger organisations and managed portfolio funds have extensive risk-management and analysis algorithms at their disposal, a self-directed individual investor has only the resources they choose to rely on. This is their choice to use as much or as little research as they deem
