A high net worth individual with brokerage firm classification of some degree of sophistication should not have to fill in extra paperwork to indulge in a speculative investment.
I am not averse to getting information such as that given for options. It's information that should be in the hands of investors, but what is intrusive and unnecessary is regulatory approval.
Comments: Disallowing retail investors the opportunity to hedge their portfolio with appropriate leveraged products is just another way of keeping retail investors from the many available investments that are out there for institutions. Allow us the opportunity to invest where we want, stop limiting our investment options it should be on the investor to decide and do their own due diligence on their investments.
I oppose limitations on my right to invest!
I want to maintain the current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing.
Good job with these rules. They seem very sensible. Too many people get suckered into buying shady products like these without really understanding what they are buying. The fact that companies are upset at the thought of people needing to really understand what they are buying is a huge red flag for me.
Please do not attempt to restrict the use of specialty investments. They are needed for a well rounded approach to many peoples portfolios. If someone doesn't understand an investment they shouldn't be using it, or leave it to a professional. Do you really think your going to protect someone from themselves, when the don't know what they are doing? Leave the use of these investments the way they are.
You guys need to regulate Bitcoin/BTC, cryptocurrencies and NFT's, before you tamper with trip lev and inverse ETF's.
Dear regulators, I do not think it is appropriate to further regulate investors in this regard. I am not a professional investor according to most definitions, but still I have been able to use several leveraged funds *more* effectively than I have individual securities. The regulatory restrictions that apply to me actually tend to result in *worse* decisions on my part, not better. I do not want to see even more rules in place to gum up the works.
Who are you to tell me where I can invest?
