To Whom It May Concern,
I am commenting to oppose the proposed restrictions.
As an average long-term investor, I normally use leveraged and inverse funds to protect my investments. I believe that I have gained knowledge of the benefits and risks of investing these funds. I believe that I should be able to determine if I should invest to these funds by myself, without having to passing certain tests.
I have used these funds for many years and know what Im doing. I do not want restrictions on them.
we 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.
Respect the freedom of investing in any products that are approved and running in the free market.
Any restrictions should only be placed on the other side but not on the investors.
I urge FINRA not to further regulate the ability of investors to purchase complex funds including leveraged and inverse funds. Investors should have the freedom to choose their investments without judgment or approval from government regulators. The current regulations and disclosures of risk are sufficient. I am capable of understanding risks without government judgment of me.
I 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 shouldnt have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I understand the risks of leveraged and inverse funds just like the common stocks, and do not need restrictions or other measures imposed on me.
It's bad enough that financial markets are stacked against the little guy. Restricting market tradable products like these just continues to tilt the playing field towards Wall Street. Do not restrict us from leveraged / inverse funds!
I am an individual investor and I have been taking advantage of leveraged ETFs for some time. I limit use of leveraged ETF to one of the 3 major stock market indexes, where my portfolio has diversification. I understand leveraged ETFs may be volatile, but theres a lot of individual securities that are more volatile. Regulators should not place more restrictive rules on leveraged ETFs. All individual investors should have the same rights to choose public investments for themselves.
I oppose Limitations on my investments.
