These Investments were considered when they came out as just that .. INVESTMENTS . To take them away from traders like me and many others would be SCANDELOUS . Traders that purchase them know Full Well that there is just as much Risk in them as there is by purchasing a Stock like Boeing .
Im well aware of the potential downsides to letfs Im educated. I am not staking a substantial amount of net worth and am hopefully using them to safely obtain an early retirement. Cutting letfs from the public market in my opinion would be a detriment to the retail investors.
I am well aware of the disadvantages and advantages of investing in leveraged and inverse funds. These are an important part of my stradegy and I use them accordingly.
Please do not impair my ability to use such funds. Doing so would create a hardship and sector decrease my investing opportunities.
Investors need financial freedom to invest in inverse and leveraged ETFs. FINRA needs to respect the publics freedom of risk appetite and not subject the members of the public who are experienced and educated individuals to extensive regulation that can harm our long run returns and financial well being
I am a veteran who proudly served my country and to be told that I have to be accredited to participate in certain assets is un American. Retail investors should be able to have access to opportunities to help improve their financial well being. Level playing field. God bless America!!!!
I believe that it is my right to invest in what I want, when I want. This is a free market and making some investments only for certain people and not others is the opposite of a free market. When people invest, they should know the risks as well as know what they are doing or else they shouldn't be in the market at all.
Hello, I do not need the government to protect me. If I fail to understand how a financial product works it is not the fault of the government but the fault of myself as I failed to educate myself. I personally have done very well with leveraged products as I bought in during a market crash and sold a while later.
WE SHOULD NEVER BE IMPOSED THE KIND OF RESTRICTIONS BEING PRESENTED WHEN IT IS OUR MONEY, OUR INVESTMENTS. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, AS WELL AS RESEARCH TOPICS SUCH AS THESE TO UNDERSTAND AND MAKE EDUCATED, QUALIFIED, INTELLIGENT DECISIONS. STOP PUTTING YOURSELVES IN AS THE 'EXPERTS' BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY ARE NOT.
This is totally unfair and discriminatory against people with lower net worth and totally favors the well off and rich investment firms. Another far reaching restrictive proposal geared to keep the 1 percent in control of the financial system and its ability to generate wealth.
I am totally against this proposal.
I have worked hard to make money and have found inverse products to be a great way to protect my investments over the years as well as a great way to make return and to protect my investments. Please dont take this great product away for just average older investors
