I am a individual investor should be able to choose the public investments that are right forme and my family.I fully understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.These funds can help me to hedge(protect) or seek enhanced returns if I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio.please continue to allow me to trade theses funds as now.All investments CARRY risks.Carefully trade and monitor will have good results
Please stop trying to enable legislation to save "us" from "ourselves". If a literate person cannot understand the complexities on an investment vehicle, perhaps we should be regulating the investment structure and the investors.
I invest in leveraged funds.
They have been an important part of my long-term investment strategy for over four years.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and/or inverse funds.
I am able and should be allowed should be able to choose the publicly traded investments that are appropriate for me and my family, not regulators.
Furthermore, public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged with access.
Comments: I am writing to voice my concerns that the FINRA is proposing limiting access to Leveraged ETFs. I have a strong understanding of the risks involved with L&I funds. I completely understand that L&I funds are for short-term trading and they must be monitored daily, even hourly on certain days. My brokerage firm provides me education, transparency and a risk disclosure before every trade I make regarding Leveraged ETFs.
I oppose any restrictions on my trading / investing activity. Leveraged and inverse funds are just a fraction of my overall portfolio but play an important role. With the proper rebalancing they can be used as a long term investment. It's easily to learn about leveraged ETF's online or with books. Let the free market decide if leveraged funds are worthy of existing without regulations. I have been holding leverage funds for the last eight years and they have easily outperformed my short term bond funds. The biggest risk is taking no risk at all. Thanks
I believe that the complexity of Leveraged ETFs is correctly matched with the current required notice and acknowledgement. Further restrictions on these products are very likely to be unfair to everyday Americans. Retail investors can and should be able to choose the level of risk and volatility that matches their investment knowledge and interest without needing to be already experienced or wealthy.
Creating additional hoops to jump through is not the same thing as protecting investors.
Keep your hands off my money. Its my Bitcoin and my keys. Just dont do it. Lets keep America the economic hub of the world. Do not legislate against bitcoin, its only going to hurt the country. FINRA, boooooo. Do better.
Closing the door after the horse has left the barn is improper and helps no one who is using these trading tools. Especially in a time of high market volatility. There is always a winner and looser. The disclosures are provided and it is up to the investor.
I believe I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family, not FINRA. Public Investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few. I shouldn't have to go through any special process or pass a test before I can invest in leveraged and inverse funds, as I am capable of understanding the risks. These funds are important to my investment strategies, as they help protect (hedge) my investments.
