Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment. Investors should have freedom to choose any investment vehicle.
I oppose rule #S7-24-15 as it should be up to the public, not regulators to decide what investments suit them and their risk tolerance. We are capable of understanding leveraged funds and their risks, and regulators do not need to impose processes that treat us as though we are incapable.
Investing in Leveraged and inverse ETFs and Mutual Funds is a low cost way for the average investor to invest like the big hedge funds. There are plenty of warnings on the volitility and dangers of leveraged investments. Please err on the side of freedom, and allow us all to have this valuable investment option. Joe Mess [REDACTED]
Do NOT restrict investments in leveraged and inverse funds.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
As a grown-up responsible adult I should have the right to choose whatever Investments I desire and willing to take a risk on. This is the United States of America.
I am oppose limitations on your ability to buy the Funds
I oppose this measure. Just because I'm not high net worth doesn't give you the right to take away my ability to reach that status. I use various products to hedge and improve returns. I know my risks. I'm not a child, and you are not my mother. Your only job is to prevent outright fraud as in lying and make sure people understand the risks. It is okay to have people have to sign and online disclosure of understanding. Beyond that, it is the right of individuals to choose their own path.
I not regulators should be able to pick the investments that are right for me and my investment strategies. This is another regulatory overreach that serves the institutions and not the public, it should never be accepted. I do not need to be patronized by FINRA or any government institution on how I invest. It is those same dumb and shortsighted limitations that are driving social security into insolvency, proof that these rules and institutions [REDACTED] do not know what is best for the public, it is likely only self serving or a result of lobbying by self serving entities.
I do not need these measures imposed on me.
