If the access is restricted to only big players, then you have enhanced the ability of equity funds, hedge funds and investing banks to pillage the retirement funds of those who saved for retirement. Do you favor the raiders or the people? You could do away with shorting and derivatives and one must hold that transaction for 3 days. Thank you
I should have the freedom to invest as I please. Educated investors can make money
It's clear, there is ulterior motive to this filing. The encroachment of overly protective, provisions, would not be supported by me or a majority. There seems to be other agenda, of the few categories it could be, to this. If reasonable standard upholds, this will be rejected.
Please, take care of important matters, like homelessness, wages the out control prices of utilities, food and of course no accountability for the way this political system is run.
Those matter most not cryptocurrency. Your concern with cryptocurrency is unwarranted. Please see to important matters, visit this idea, never again!!
Signed,
concerned citizens
I believe it is crucial that investment choices remain the prerogative of each individual investor and not relegated the privileged powerful who lobby government to restrict investment opportunities to that which only they control.
Just explain the risks involved and allow us adults to make our own allocations based on what is appropriate for our financial situations.
I regard the availability to invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs an important tool to balance and protect my portfolio as well as provide additional returns during market downturns.
I oppose any regulations that further restrict my ability to invest and manage my own investments as I see fit. It is my money and I know from experience that even with a leveraged fund investment it is still safer that letting someone else invest it for me. The financial industry if full of operators looking to rip off the average investor and you should be looking to more highly regulate them, not me and what investment instruments I have access to.
Government it's not your business to tell us how to invest. It's your business to do the job we hired you to do. Stay out of our choices. Or find a new job. CLEAR?
Do not limit our ability to make decisions on investing. Your attempt to be the decision maker on our ability to make decisions is an attempt to become is an overreach of your mandate.
