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
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
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
Comments: I have been using these type of accounts for awhile now. If used sparingly and watch closely they can enhance your porfolio. There is inherent risk, but that is with everything. These don't really move any different than any index funds. They allow you the flexibility and protection at times of turbulence in the markets. I would never suggest anyone putting a large percentage into
Who [REDACTED] is the government when it comes to an individual who wants to spend his or her money. If a person is able to buy stock they should be able to make their own choices and decisions. Where does the government get off making decisions for the people. The government is a big woke joke. They have gotten the taxpayers into more problems then they know how to get out of. The government
We should be able to choose the public investments that are right for us and our family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I'd been trading the stock market for more than 20 years, I am totally understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my
I strongly believe that I as an investor should be able to choose the public investment that are right for me. I should not have to go through any special process or test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I found leveraged and inversed funds are important to protect my investments when stocks went down, I can leverage the loss with inverse funds. When the
Aren't we living in the land of the free and the home of the brave?? Why, then, are you pushing for regulations that would limit certain people from purchasing leveraged and inverse funds? Why are you creating a system with those who have these privileges and those who are refused these privileges. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Let
