I think that I should be able to make these choices and not regulators. All public investments should be available to everyone, not just the privileged.
I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me based on my personal risk tolerance. Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategy and should be my personal consideration and not the regulators. These investment should be available to all the public and not just the privileged.
Our government should not limit our freedom to invest in any legal activity or asset.
I the investor should be able to choose which funds I invest in, not regulators/ politicians.
In a country where tobacco, alcohol, predatory loans and various forms of gambling are freely available and offten pushed toward the most vulnerable members of society with the blessing of our government your investor restrictions seem laughable. To say the USG actually cares about small investors is ridiculous. If you want to help, then set up programs in schools to educate children in personal finance. Stop schilling predatory loans to High School children. Stop trying to make the financial markets the exclusive playground of the rich.
Free market, these investments make the market easier and more accessible and safe for people involved, and have without a doubt made my investment experiences better and lowered to bar of entry for a lot of things.
Hello. I use this to leverage against my broad investment categories. Please do not take away this feature.
I do not support this rule in the slightest. You cannot fail to define “complex products” and then make such products difficult for investors to access. What if next year, ETFs are considered “complex”? Further, this hurts normal people like me by making it difficult to access investments that have performed well for me (and which I easily understand how they will perform under any market conditions).
Please do not restrict self directed platforms from trading these complex products. It poses a severe threat towards market fairness by letting only big investors and institutions to trade instead of the common people. Retail traders should be able to freely choose whatever products they like to invest in. The privilege should be offer to ALL instead of the few.
