I understand that you are considering legislation that will further restrict investors from investing in a broad range of public securities designated as complex products. We already receive prospectuses which spell out risks. What is your reasoning for adding more restrictions? As a small investor I want the right to invest in any publicly traded stock or ETF of my choosing. We do not need more
Dear Regulators:
I strongly oppose the proposed regulation that would limit or eliminate access to leveraged and inverse investment instruments.
These tools are a critical piece to actively managing a portfolio, and provide unique alternatives to individual stocks, passive ETF's and mutual funds.
Given the many events in the last several years that have dramatically affected the
Sir/Ma'am,
It has come to my attention that restrictions are being considered that would impose restrictions on the types of investors that can invest in leveraged and inverse funds.
I find the fact that this is even being considered to be deeply hypocritical considering the fact that many individual stocks (nevermind cryptocurrency) have similar or even more aggressive risk profiles
Individual investors have been excluded from the advantages of large trading firms and lawmakers. Taking away individual investor RIGHTS to invest in leveraged & Inverse funds is just another ball & chain on individuals in their strides towards financial independence from Government. If an individual had invested in a triple leveraged S&P index fund for the last 10 years,
I think we, as investors, should be able to choose the public investments. That is the right for myself and my family. Public investments should be made available to all the public, not just the selected classes (people with high net worth etc.). We understand the risks associated with leveraged and inverse funds. They are important to my investment strategies, which took me over 10 years to
Do not implement this regulation. The federal government never properly evaluates unintended consequences. Stop treating the general population as though they cannot read and understand. Let me invest the way I want to invest. I have been trying to get treasury bonds out of the treasury for eight weeks and cannot even get through on a phone. The federal government is beyond incompetent. What
Hello, Regulators,
Nobody likes you. Many (fully) understand what you failingly attempt to do. Billionaires get full access to an American Dream, freedom to make money and upward mobility (they already have it.), while you (failingly) try to disenfranchise regular people those who can use it most. Free, and open markets mean free for all: Try focusing on frauds as stocks, frauds, Chinese A.D.R.
I believe investors should be able to choose what investments that they want to invest in. I used these investments as a hedge for my portfolio. I do think that the acknowledgement of risk and investment experience should play a role in whether investors can invest in leveraged products, but the approval process should be similar to the process for getting approval to trade stock options. It
Regulators should not restrict my ability to invest in public securities, including leveraged or inverse funds. These types of investments are a valuable addition to my portfolio and provide additional diversification. For example, I have acquired leveraged inverse funds a few months ago (since the downturn of the stock market), in order to protect the upside of previous investments and offset
I oppose the regulations being considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. I have the right to choose which public investments I want to invest in. This should not be taken away to benefit only those with high net worth or a privileged few. I do not believe any process needs to be implemented in order to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I already use them as important
