I oppose any restrictions on my freedom to invest in the stock market. This is a overreach by the SEC. I use leveraged funds in my day to day trading to increase returns minimize losses in down market situations. I have been using these type of funds since 2018. I should not have to go through any special processes, approvals or delays in trading. Its my money and the right to do as I wish with
I have been Trading Stocks & Options since April 13 1963 when I Turned 21 . My First Exposure was a Brokerage Firm at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in N.Y.C.
I have been very Successful over the last 59 years and I Understand the Risks Involved in Leveraged - Inverse Funds. My Roth Ira is the only Account - I use for this Type of Accounts . My Wife and I have many other Accounts at other
The ability to trade inverse and leveraged investment vehicles as well as closed end funds, volatility assets, stocks bonds and options are all equally important to me personally! Regulators should not be able to determine what I as a long term sophisticated investor should be able to trade. There is no reason to make me subject to any special process or approvals, I have been using them for a
I object strongly to the proposed regulations that would restrict my ability to invest in inverse funds. I am fully aware of the risks associated with such funds, and invest in them to reduce the risks associated with "long" stock and bond funds. My investment in an inverse fund is only a small fraction of my net worth, but my ability to invest at the time of my choosing -- and
Comments:Given that it's been banks and wall street that has crashed the stock market numerous times with their wild gambling and poor planning, even though they're supposedly sophisticated traders with lovely certificates attesting to the fact, perhaps you should tighten regulations on the financial giants and leaches in the system before you go after the small people. Have
Dear FINRA,
Why is it that you feel an obligation to restrict my right to invest into leveraged or inverse publicly traded funds??
Unfortunately the debacle your sister agency the FED has
created warrants the ability for an individual to be able to hedge an investment in the gambling casino called the stock
market. By further restricting my choice's handcuffs my ability to keep up with
It should be up to individual investors as to whether they what type of investment they chose without the proposed "red tape" despite known volatility. Many publicly traded companies have gone bankrupt or experienced huge fluctuations in stock prices and in those cases shareholders are not protected. Overall, investors should never have a concentration in any investment and no one
I am writing to oppose restrictions on leveraged and inverse funds. Both of those funds allow investors to engage in investment strategies that is already allowed in an efficient manner. For example, Regulation T margin and portfolio margin offered by brokers already allows significant leverage and an inverse fund could be implemented by shorting the underlying security. What both leveraged
I am outraged that you call Structured Product "complex investments." How can you paint these products with such a broad brush? Frequently companies use futures to hedge against many risks. Why not call their stocks complex investments as well? I believe simply informing clients of the risks, as our firm does with all the investments we sell, should suffice with any risk disclosure. We
I believe FINRA's proposed limits try to address a problem that does not exist. Retail investors should have the freedom to decide what to do with their money and Direxion does a great job with several resources in their website to inform us about the risks of leverage investments.
I understand well what the risks are of investing in leveraged ETFs and they have made me a better investor
