Im against restrictions on investments
Dear FINRA,
Once again, another example of an overreaching government agency trying to do whatever they can to stifle free markets. Hedging is something that has been done since markets began to mitigate risk. If FINRA really wanted to do something worthwhile, they could start looking into the derivative mess before we have another '08/09 mess.
I would like to let you know I fell that "Public Investments" should live up to their name and be open to the "Public". I am more than capable of understanding leveraged & inverse funds and their risks. I do not need an investment babysitter or any restrictions imposed that is going to make it any more difficult for me to get a good return on my investment. Please and thank you.
Individual investors should be permitted to trade leveraged and Reverse ETF. One does not need to have a large amount of capital to have intelligence and the ability to understand and use these investment vehicles. Special tests or other special requirements should not exist which would limit individual investors access to these vehicles. and, under no circumstances should access be cut at the current extended downturn in the market. These are exactly times when leveraged ETF provide the best opportunity to make gains.
Individuals should be able to access their own interests when investing without government regulations.
WE the people should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for ourselves and our family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged. I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!
Let everyone invest ! Protect them from the scammers. But other than that stay out of it. Quit trying to get your hands on it all and get what you can first. That's not your job. Not what we elect you for. So do what's right & stand up for the little guys who make this country what it is, GREAT !
Please allow investors to continue to have access to leveraged and inverse funds, as these funds provide valuable flexibility for individual investors during these unprecedented times.
I feel it is inappropriate to restrict individual investors ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I find this beyond illogical when I am allowed to purchase an unlimited amount of lottery tickets, bitcoin, or gamble it all away in a casino. I am most confident in my knowledge of these investment vehicles and can trade them appropriately. Thank you.
Hello,
I firmly object to additional hurdles to investing. I (and the general public of mostly non-accredited investors) are not idiots, we just have less money. The tools to learn about investment and the finance industry are out there and we are using them.
Being able to participate in the market should not only be for the rich or those with finance degrees. I am against agency testing to allow access to inverse and leveraged funds.
