I do not believe you should limit leveraged funds to certain people, some of us are knowledgeable about the market and know how to use these tools but just aren't the elites of society yet. Eliminating my ability to use these funds would greatly hamper my personal investments gains. I am sorry if some people are not sophisticated enough to handle them.
My investments are my own choice. I interact with these investment options with a full knowledge of their potential risks. There is more than sufficient information available to the average investor to ensure full comprehension of these vehicles. Do not restrict this accessibility.
My investment strategies should not be controlled by regulators! This is a ridiculous consideration on FINRAs part. I as many others, do not agree.
Let people Invest.
I do not need or want special processes or tests before investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding the principles and risks of such funds, and the strategies used to protect my exposure to losses. I have significant experience, and utilize fund strategies to offset risks in my normal investments.
Let people invest as they wish to.
Please dont make it more complicated to invest. People should have the freedom to invest in what they want.
We are living in a free country and there is no need and reason to have limitations. I highly opposed this limitation as it should be people's right to freely decide on their financial decisions. This limitation doesn't make sense in any aspects.
Dont not question the intelligence of investigators or force unnecessary expenses by requiring professionals to act on our behalf.
