Not allowing normal people to invest is just trying to make investments for the rich easier. You are trying to lower your own standards. That's a difficult task, as you are already so low. Yes I said what I said
Many, many people buy and sell many forms of stocks. For both monthly income, and long term investments.
Further regulating how we can invest will add a financial strain to an already unstable economy. Not to mention raise the number of unemployed.
Government agencies should not have any authority over how we invest our money. Especially with a poor track record of properly managing anything.
Comments: Our "Diversity" is our strength not weakness. It gives us options, selections, choices and opens door to opportunities. Please do not close the door of opportunities and through us into darkness.
Citizens not regulators
Comments: More restrictions hurt; they do not help. The market is risky, as are many things in life. It is an individuals responsibility to do due diligence before investing. Limiting investment options based on wealth, experience, or any other subjective factor is wrong. An individual, and solely that individual, should have the ability and right to make unrestricted investment decisions on their own behalf. By the same logic being presented here, should casinos not exist? Should we place limits on what cars people can buy based on net worth?
Comments: Good day!
The approach of limiting access to products instead of educating the consumers is a wrong one. It means taking a stance that the only people who should have access to the market are professional investors and accredited investors.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST
* I am able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
* I don't need to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I'm capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
* Leveraged and inverse funds are important to your
investment strategies, they help me
If I can blow all my money on taxes and social security that will never come back to benefit me then I can invest in crypto.
Any investment is risky.
People are smart so dont act like you need to help(police) us.
Platforms like Fidelity, Vanguard, TD Ameritrade, etc. put checks before investors are able to invest in these ETFs/Funds. I believe these are sufficient safeguards. FINRA should not take away the ability to trade in these instruments and limit the ability for knowledgeable investors to benefit from the fluctuations in the market, while investment banks are able to make millions off them.
