I want to invest myself not by regulators.
It is of utmost importance that people have the full freedom to deploy their money into whatever they want without major obstructions.
As it is, to protect investors, ETFs already have disclaimers, which spell out the risks. In addition, some broker accounts won't even let investors buy some ETFs or penny stocks unless the risk profile is set to be "aggressive".
I should be able to choose what investments are right for me. I know the risk in leveraged funds, and know only to invest a small portion of my money in them, and to have a diversified portfolio.
Let everyone invest, No one should have the right to say who can invest
Please do not remove my right to invest as I wish
I support this. FINRA's below requirements are reasonable in the given format: Pass a regulator-imposed test of your specialized investment knowledge Demonstrate a high net worth Get special approval from your broker Attest to reading certain materials Go through cooling off periods during which you cant invest
People need to be left alone to handle their own affairs! Government over reach needs to stop!!!
Regulators should not be able to dictate the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Instead of finding ways to hinder the average investor, get together with other government agencies to stop insider trading by congress.
We are adults . We can take care of our own finances
Investors are responsible for their own investments. Regulators are responsible for preventing fraudulent offerings, not for protecting investors from investor's choices and decisions. The proposed regulation appears to be in favor of regulator's supporters to the detriment of the general public.
