I began trading options more than 10 years ago. I studied with several teachers, able to use a practice account before trading live. I find option trading a way to limit my exposure to market risk, and still obtain the gains I want.
While my general approach is to hold ETFs, use both long, short options trades, as well as holding inverse ETFs to take advantage of market fluctuation.
I understand
I wish to express my opposition to considerations by FINRA to restrict rights to invest in leveraged and/or inverse funds and other investments considered to be "complex".
With over 30 years of investing experience and formal credentialing (CFP), I consider myself fully capable of understanding the risks of investing in such funds.
Leveraged and inverse funds are an extremely
I understand the risks involved in leveraged investments and I am fully capable of using such instruments in my portfolio to increase the diversity and return of my accounts. All investments carry risks and I have used leveraged funds for over ten years. I should not be required to take any tests or special processes as I feel comfortable and accomplished that my experience and portfolio
It is very important to me to make my own investment decisions, not have them made for me. I want to retain every opportunity to make any type of investment I choose. I've purchased inverse and leveraged funds without excessive risk and have made a profit. One shouldn't have to be wealthy to have the "privilege" of the full range of investment opportunities
Retirement plans like a 401(k) are long-term investments. But that doesn’t mean you should set them up and forget about them until you retire. Schedule an annual 401(k) “checkup” to make sure your plan still meets your needs.
Dear FINRA,
I have recently been made aware of the FINRA proposed rule #22-08, and it has me concerned for investors for the following reasons listed below. In summary, I believe if this rule is codified it will hurt investors more than help investors, will hurt the economy around investing in America, and is simply against the freedoms granted to us as being an American citizen.
1) The spirit of
Leveraged and inverse ETFs are critically important hedging instruments for managing risk in cost-effective ways. Stripping individuals of the right to freely use and learn about these tools risks creating a market where valuation becomes disconnected from price (as the bets are less precise and more homogenous), and the market loses the ability to differentiate between successful and
Member firms should be aware of an alleged large-scale data breach possibly affecting Oracle Cloud services at firms and third-party providers. FINRA recommends that firms review this information to assess any potential impact to their operations, as well as with third-party providers who provide services to the firm. FINRA previously delivered an email to firms whose domain names appeared in the threat actor post, as well as any firms that previously informed FINRA of their use of Oracle products and services.
As an investor, I think I have the right to choose what assets I can invest..I understood the risk when buying the leverage funds.
Why do I have to go through any special process like passing an exam..?? it sounds ridiculous to me man..so do I have to pass one exam to buy any product..? like I need to pass an exam to buy a share of APPL??
This product is important to my strategy.. I can bear the
I find it VERY intrusive and limiting to deny individuals with small capital the opportunity to invest in leveraged funds. These funds are professionally managed, providing defined risks to the investor, and should be viewed no differently than a mutual fund with risk and reward based upon a fixed investment strategy that actually limits risk to the investor while providing access to securities
