I vehemently oppose restrictions on how I choose to invest my money in public investment of any kind. I am not a child and it's not your role to treat me like one. I shouldn't have to prove anything to anybody regarding the funds I desire to invest in. I know how to plan my investments. Whether they produce the results I desire is NOT your problem. It is mine. I'm
I am opposed to the restrictions FINRA is proposing on the ability of retail investors to buy leveraged and inverse ETFs. For one, this is an impugnment on basic freedom that the US is supposed to stand for. I am more than capable of reading the basic documentation for these funds and understanding the risks I choose to take. They are also critically important to my investing strategy and
I believe that restricting access to these investments what hurt far more people than just allowing the risk to be there. I believe the majority of investors understand that funds that offer higher returns come with higher risk. It is already made clear in the prospectuses of every fund. Please let us make our own decisions. Many of us have been in these funds for years and they are an important
I oppose the type of regulation being proposed to access leveraged investments. I note that investors such as me have to submit a self assessment of their capabilities before they can open a trading account with brokers.
I also note that no such restrictions or limits on leveraged instruments are placed on the so called institutional investors and companies. I demand a level playing field.
I have the capability of making my own investment decisions. A lot of people have investment strategies using these products and know the risks and do not put their life savings them.
I actually have a Series 7 license and understand the risks. There are others that do not have a license but are traders that make a living of trading. I do not feel the government needs to regulate. There is
I invest in leveraged funds, and I am completely against this proposal. Specifically, I combine the leveraged funds with the non-leveraged versions of the same targeted index to achieve my desired level of leverage. While my returns obviously lag the index in adverse market conditions, I vastly outperform the market in up periods. I never use the inverse funds, but I always incorporate the
I oppose these new regulations that they want to implement in these ETFs. I think it is unfair that only qualified people or people with degrees in finance can access this type of investment. As a small investor, I believe that my money has the same value as yours, so I don't understand why there is discrimination. Each person assumes the risk of their investments. I beg you to
I am appalled that the SEC thinks they have the right to tell how and when is acceptable for me to invest in any instrument. I am a frequent investor in leveraged and inverse funds and demand that you take no actions that infringe in any way on my ability to continue to do so. These investments should be available to all, not just to a privileged few. I insist that you drop all planned actions
I'm 68 years old and have been self-employed for most of my working life. Being self-employed means investing in various IRA, SEP, Self-Employed 401K plans, etc., which I manage myself and have for several decades. The very last thing I need is for government regulators tell me I can no longer have access to leveraged and inverse funds. These investments are a large part of my
FINRA, taking such action by instructing ordinary investors that "we are not sufficiently sharp" to comprehend our investment portofolio, opportunities and our planning is a "bridge too far". FINRA, stay out, it is not needed and if this is part of the ESG movement, focus on yourselves. Let us be!! We are free to chose our own course and our own investment
