I find the proposed FINRA's potential regulations notice 22-08 as it will put undo restrictions on my ability to invest as an individual. The current proposed requirement for a test is not fully defined nor is the process in which it will be administered defined. Who will prepare the study material, who will administer the test, and how long is the certification valid after you pass the test? There are no answers to these and other questions.
Dear regulator, there is no need to regulate. Investors are bright people and we don't need you to limit our ability to make money in a zero rate world.
You not regulators 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 would prefer to NOT have the proposed restrictions on investing in leveraged or inverse products. Also, the proposed steps to permit such purchases are too restrictive and add unnecessary burden to the process. Investors have access to all the information they need to make an informed decision, and they have the ability now to conduct additional research. Treat people like adults...
We should get all the right to invest not only in he rich. Everyone has the right to invest in the market!
You have no right to take away inverse etfs..It is the investors responsibility to learn how to make their financial decisions. Hmm.. seems to be ok for the government to always make the regulations to benefit them and not the individual. These etfs provide an investor utilize trades in both directions.Are you going to start regulating buying cars and houses too? Hmmm many people get screwed there tooo.. where does it start. Sales and trading is always buyer beware and it is up to the individual to educate themselves when they make their choices that is why we live in the USA.
Leveraged eft are the few investing tool available to me and most small retail investors. If we cant use them, then we may have to borrow from margin which will cost more and with more risk.
Please do not limit our ability to invest in a broad and diverse manner. This totally defeats a citizen's ability to maintain a safe strategy for future growth.
Please do not change the investor requirements to buy leveraged and inverse securities.
