To whom it may concern I respectfully disagree with any legislation that restricts either the access or the outright ability for me to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I do my research and I understand the risks. I understand how to invest in these as part of a larger strategy. Please do not remove the rights of people like myself who independently do the work and choose to invest in these types of securities.
Leveraged and inverse funds are not something I stumbled into by accident; they are a small but carefully chosen part of my portfolio. I should be able to choose the investments that are right for be without having to waste time and effort trying to secure the permission of government regulators.
I am a small investor who needs the opportunity to prevent losses due to changes in the stock market. Taking away ability to protect my assets will severely impact my ablity to support myself and my family. Public investments, such as the ones FINRA is proposing to impose special requirements on, should be available to all Americans and not for just the privileged. The proposed changes to #S7-24-15 will limit my right to freely protect and enhance my overall portfolio. Please don't restrict the individual investor by imposing the restrictions there in.
Gentlemen; I and not regulators should be making my investments decisions! I should not be required to go thru a special process to make my investment decisions Leveraged and Inverse funds are important to my investment decisions Live and let live, Respecto,
Good morning, I believe this proposal is wrong! People investing should be able to invest in the funds/stocks that they would like. Having more regulations on things like this would help to keep the smaller man down. There should be no reason for someone that understands trading to do as they fell is right for themselves.
I opposed the investment freedom. I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST
I should be able to choose what type of investments I want to invest in for me and my family. This should not be restricted by regulations or to whom regulators feel should be allowed to trade. If it's a public investment, it should be open to the public. I have used inverse and leveraged funds to hedge against the huge market crash on 2020. This kept me from losing a significant amount of money in the market when the rest of my portfolio dropped. I am perfectly capable of understanding how these leveraged and inverse funds work and what their risks are.
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. It is very important that you preserve this right for me.
Unless you can guarantee my required return on investments, I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me - not you. I have been investing in leveraged and inverse funds for three years without your assistance. These are valuable tools which help me meet my investment goals and are an important part of my portfolio strategy. PLEASE do not erect barriers between investors and their ability to use these types of funds. We need ongoing access to hedge against losses and to keep our investment goals on track.
