I use TBT to hedge my bond position. It is a useful tool. I don't need or want to go through any more hoops than I already manage in order to invest. I do not trust FINRA to do this for me.
Most people investing in the market today understand the risks of investing. All public investments are required to post what they are investing in, all tell you there is no guarantee that you are going to make money. They also tell you you can lose your investment. We should be able to make our own decision which investments we choose and not have just a privileged few be able to invest in certain public investments.
This is a terrible idea that would have seriously bad knock-on effects. This shouldn't be considered... and would be harmful to business. Please reconsider this.
To Whom It May Concern,
It is only right that I not regulators be the one to choose the public investments that are right for myself and my family!
Public investments should always without fail be available to the public for myself and my family and others like us. And shouldn't be just for the privileged.
Going through any special processes really shouldn't become a reality, such as a test those are things that shouldn't ever be allowed or required.
We have the right and freedom to invest ETFs.
Closing these funds now or limiting them is very damaging to investors already in them. I am sure you have the intentions of protecting people but if you must then may be start with options. Options expire and more dangerous. Leverged ETF could be held for a short or long term. Sincerely
It's especially important regulators hear from you in your own words. Please use the body of this email to customize your response. Your administration's policy's R causing wide spread inflation needs to Stop ASP.
I oppose any regulations making it more difficult as an ordinary citizen to invest in cryptocurrencies!
It is outrageous that only a select few of are allowed to do what everyone in the United States should be able to do. This is financial racism.
