Hi,
I've always taken personal responsibility for my retirement account and investments. I don't want to have to rely on others for my financial future that I've worked hard to secure. I really appreciate the ability to access and use complex financial tools in the form of simple trading instruments. I use leveraged, inverse and crypto funds regularly for trying to
Please do not restrict my usage of specialized market products. I use leveraged products to reduce the risks of my family's investments in many other securities. In times of war, such as now, and high market volatility, such as now, and high inflation, such as now, and irregular FED activity, such as now, I need these leveraged products to secure the future of my family. I am just an
I use leveraged and inverse funds as a way to balance my portfolio and am fully aware of risks involved. This allows me to manage my investments on my own. I strongly believe that this and all investment options should be available to regular retail investors and I should not be made to pay commissions to a fund manager to be able to utilize these instruments. This is an important part of my
I am very concerned about the possible restriction to trade leveraged and inverse funds. This is an important part of my investment strategy as they help me to hedge my investments using less money. They are a limited, but critical and strategic part of my overall investment portfolio. Its not difficult to understand the risks involved especially for the way I am using it. Without them, I
Please please please FINRA, please do not restrict me and my family from investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I am now making very nice profits due to these particular stocks / funds. I understand the risk involved and feel I should not have to go through passing a test or any other special process in order to invest in these public securities. They provide me the security with hedging my
The idea of putting restrictions on Inverse/Leveraged securities is just a bad idea. 1) These instruments are not that complicated - people can understand them....Typically they are based on indexes (e.g., 2X SPX etc.), that's easier to understand than the inner-workings of any individual company! 2) FINRA, I believe, already requires brokers to display warnings - that's good enough. A
I am strongly opposed to the proposed FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08, that will limit my ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds. I should be able to choose my public investments without interference from regulators. I am more than capable of understanding the risks involved with leveraged and inverse funds. I do not need regulators looking over my shoulder, or telling me what I can, or
Public investments should be available to all public as our families decide. There should be no special process as most of us are capable of understanding risks. Do not impose any additional measures on us. These are important for our investment strategies and should have no limitations placed. There may be little else common folks can use in difficult circumstances (like this well
I believe it is crucial that investment choices remain the prerogative of each individual investor and not relegated the privileged powerful who lobby government to restrict investment opportunities to that which only they control.
Just explain the risks involved and allow us adults to make our own allocations based on what is appropriate for our financial situations.
I regard the availability to
Individuals, not regulators, should be able to choose the investments that meet our objectives. I have been using Leveraged Funds for many years to meet my families portfolio objectives.
And we shouldn't have to verify we have a Masters Degree in these type of investments. Brokers include a disclaimer stating certain types of products carry a higher amount of risk. There are certain
