I am aware of the restrictions that may be introduced on my leveraged investments and I strongly appose any limitations likely to be considered on these investments! As a private investor I should be allowed to choose where to invest my capital as I take full responsibility for the outcomes of my investment strategy. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and am fully aware of the risks
I dont see how this new regulation is necessary, since the stock market is open to the PUBLIC to invest. Then I believe it should only be right for the OURSELVES (the investors) to choose what should be right for us. I can see why this regulation can benefit a few people, but I dont understand why it would be necessary to enforce it onto everyone. Just like some people gets violated or insulted
It is outrageous that regulators want to treat the average investor like a second class citizen. Why do we need to take tests in order to buy an ETF?? This is America and we should be able to invest as we see fit. We should have the same access to the same products as anyone else.
Why should you need a degree in finance in order to buy an ETF? Similar to owning a gold ETF instead of owning gold
Hi,
I have been an active trader for the last 10 years and have used many trading tools, ranging from simple stocks to complex derivative strategies. Leveraged ETFs/instruments are excellent tools I use to hedge my trades and enhance performance. One of the main reasons these are excellent assets is their ease of access. While they carry more risk (clearly stated with every brokerage platform I
I strongly oppose any restriction placed on my ability to buy leveraged ETFs. I am a "smart" Retail investor who has done his homework, understand the risks and volatility that come with these leveraged ETFs and I want to be able to continue buying them.
They have given me sizeable gains over the long term.
Trading using margin or options is much more riskier. Options have
The way I'm understanding this law is so it can always benifet the bigger people that hold high positions. Let us the little people and middle class people have the same rights as you the rich people. We should all be able to invest in anything we want as long as we know we can always loose and to make sure we don't over invest and then loose more money or houses. But our
This month, we are marking the 10th anniversary of the FINRA Securities Helpline for Seniors—an important milestone for a critical service that FINRA provides to protect vulnerable investors and assist harmed investors. On this FINRA Unscripted podcast episode, we will be speaking with leaders from FINRA’s Vulnerable Adults and Seniors Team—Elizabeth Yoka, the manager of VAST Intake, and Michael Paskin, the manager of the VAST Investigations, to discuss the Helpline and its 10 years of protecting investors.
Please. I beg you. We, the public, are not your children. Please stop treating us as such.
If we have funds sufficient to invest, then we have shown that we have sufficient wherewithal to read and understand a contract. Let us.
Several years ago I was granted shares under an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, through eTrade. Upon one grant, I observed that the stock was on an upward run. I sought to
"However, important regulatory concerns arise when investors trade complex products without understanding their unique characteristics and risks." Like the complex derivatives that the large financial institutions created leading up to the Global Financial Crisis and collapse of the housing bubble? Until you remove the ability of institutional investors to be excessively leveraged with
I am new to retail investing/trading but what I’ve witness with GME and AMC really opened my eyes to how corrupt and fixed the markets are. The mainstream media I used previously to help make decisions, has been 100% controlled to influence retail investors in a pure evil way. This is about as easy as it gets to see the manipulation. This manipulation is throughout the entire process with naked
