I live in rural Pennsylvania, and I will be the first to admit that I have no idea how investing works. However, the mere suggestion that ordinary people should have to take additional measures, such as passing a literacy test, in order to invest their hard-earned money makes me furious. The United States is built on the idea of freedom, which includes a free market.
I find it strange that in the land of freedom, we seem to have It is the US Government that is becoming more of a hinderance to people developing wealth than any other obstacle. Please return our rights back to us.
I am opposite limitations on my ability to buy any ProShares funds. It is not FINRA business.
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest. I have the right to choose for myself, and my family without public securities. As it is my money, I should be able to calculate risk and reward for myself.
The monetary investment of a citizen should not be impeded by legislation that is Right leaning. Everyone should have the same opportunities to invest as they see fit. It is despicable to protect the exclusive few versus the fair representation of all your constituents. Please reconsider your support of this rule.
Leveraged and inverse funds like SQQQ and SPXU are very important to my investment strategies. They help me to protect and hedge my investments against huge drawdown in bear market. I use them as a limited part (less than 10%) of my overall portfolio including cash.
People should have rights to invest their own money on their ways!
Dont take away the ability to invest in these funds. These are good diversifiers and retails investors should have access to them.
