as an attorney that has believed in upholding the law, this proposed law would diminish the independence and autonomy of investors. we dont need anymore laws from the government to handhold investors from risky investments such as leveraged funds. this is encroaching on many peoples abilities to take advantage from the market. simple warnings and promotion of financial education tools is all that is necessary to protect investors, not enriching the rich by limiting investments to the general public. dont limit us from our investments.
Government needs to stay out of my business! This is my hard earned money I worked hard for not you. Especially just so you can throw it away on ridiculous things that benefits no one but the criminal politicians ! Leave me alone.! I pay my taxes and not so you can line your pockets. Dont the lobbyist pay you enough or are you that greedy! I say vote out all incumbents!!
Hi - I would like my rights to retain investment in leveraged ETFs. We invest in that knowing the risk and rewards. I have strong objections on "Demonstration of High Net Worth". This would make the rich richer and the poor and average people can't invest to grow their fund/savings.
Because I have a high degree of understanding of the inverse and leveraged funds, I understand why regulation is being considered. However, traders have always been and always should be responsible for their own investing knowledge and actual trades.
Leveraged Funds are a very important part of my investment which has enabled me to achieve my investment goals that would've been otherwise not possible to achieve. I strongly oppose the proposal by FINRA to restrict the use of Leveraged funds by common investors.
I really don't think the small investors have to go through any special process like passing a test before investing in securities like leveraged and inverse funds. This proposal is very unfair and will likely restrict an investor from accessing a great investment option.
I think people should be free to invest money without interference from the government. I think governments role should be to make sure that the playing field is fair. Individuals should profit from their good decisions and pay for their bad decisions.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. You will limit my options and ability to invest successfully if you implement this [REDACTED]. Im investing my money, not yours!
As an individual investor, I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. It should not be limited to big banks and hedge funds.
I have been investing for over 20 years and I fully understand the risk. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.
Ive used leveraged and inverse funds, as well as options on them, as a retail investor for years and I intend to continue doing so.
