keep government out of my investment choices
I should be able to decide which public investments I feel are right for my individual investing, and not be available for just the privileged. These type of investments are very important to my overall strategy and allow me to hedge my investments while also affording me enhanced returns in certain environments.
I think the individual should have the opportunity to make whatever Investments he or she chooses is appropriate. The regulator shouldn't tell him what the individual can and can't do. If there is fraud involved, that's a different matter. But if the individual would like to use a leverage long or inverse product, he should have the right to do so.
I oppose limitations on our ability to buy the Funds include the leveraged and inverse funds
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family, not regulators. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that you are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
Do not restrict my ability to short markets. It comes with the same risk as regular investing, and I should have both options available to me...
As an investor it's my responsibility to understand what I am investing in. Regulators shouldn't restrict the people's right to invest in stocks or funds and they definitely shouldn't put a requirement that you need a "high net worth". Why should individuals who do their research have to jump through hoops in order to invest because someone else didn't understand what they were doing. This would be akin to making an entire class retake an exam because some students chose not to study and failed.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Not Regulators. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just those selected by random government standards.
If you want to protect the uninformed then stop gambling!
