Americans should be free to research and utilize all manner of publicly traded securities in their investment portfolios. These should not be managed or limited by regulators. I utilize leveraged index-based securities regularly as a core element of my investing strategy.
I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. 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 I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am more than capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. They help me protect my investments and I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio
I oppose the regulations being proposed by FINRA. I believe free markets are in everyone's best interest and that each individual is responsible for their own actions.
Investors like myself, should be able to select the investments they deem fit for their overall portfolio without having to jump through restrictive hoops. I own a leveraged ETF through Fidelity. Whenever I look to purchase more of this ETF, Fidelity requires that I read some disclosures and attest to the fact that I understand the risk involved with this investment. I believe that is enough of an attestation!
Do not restrict
Do not add regulations to Leveraged funds
This is unfair and unjust. People should control their financial future - not faceless bureaucrats.
Do not restrict ability my ability to invest in leveraged funds.
I, not regulators, should be able independently to choose public investments which are best for me and my family. I should not be required to go through a special process such as passing a test to invest in securities such as leveraged and inverse funds. I as a private investor have sufficient understanding of the workings risks of such funds, and have enjoyed over 20 years of investing in such funds under the Profunds family. These are important for my investment strategies which have allowed me to seek enhanced returns as well as hedge my overall investments.
I would like to be able to purchase inverse and leverage investments.
