The last thing investors need is more bureaucracy between us and our desired investments. Publicly traded investments and brokerages already provide substantial disclosures and education for those looking to improve their investment returns. No one stumbles upon inverse, leveraged, or other specialty ETFs or other trading vehicles. We have identified a specific need or opportunity, and seek out
I use inverse funds to make a living and I would have no income without the ability to trade inverse funds. My husband and my father are terminally ill and Im their caregiver- which requires me to be home 24 hours each day. Trading inverse funds at home is the only way I have been able to make a living!
Dear Sir/Madam,
I understand that FINRA is considering implementation of restrictions/rules which might impede my ability to invest in leveraged and/or inverse funds. As a small investor, these financial instruments allow me to diversify and/or hedge my portfolio with a great deal of efficiency. Please do not place any further restrictions on the trading in these valuable trading tools!
I am an individual investor and object to any restrictions to my ability to trade as I see fit especially limiting or eliminating my ability to trade inverse and leveraged funds. I have been using these judiciously for years in order to protect my investments from significant loses or to improve my gains. Please leave me alone. Thanks for reading this.
i -- NOT REGULATORS -- should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I should not have to go through any special process to invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds ( I have been trading these over 20 years ). Trading leveraged and inverse funds are a limited and important part of my overall investment strategy.
To whom it may concern
I am very concerned about the possible legislation that you are proposing. Some of the funds that would be effected by this legislation are an important part of my hedging process. Taking this ability away would severely impact my trading ability. I request that you do not remove the freedom to trade these investment vehicles that are not available anywhere else.
The ETFs are a great alternative to trade with less risks than futures, you should regulate more those ridiculous margins that futures brokers are offering, a huge percentaje of new traders loose the account because you allow margins in futures for day trading that are dangerous.
With ETFs the risk is less because you use less leverage.
This is completely unfair to the retail investor and is just another example of trying to limit the people's rights on investments. Using leveraged funds are essential in day trading, especially when day trading. We as individuals are completely capable in self-sufficient research without having to pass any forms of tests. Public investments are meant for the public, not just the elite.
I should be able to use leveraged funds and index funds to invest as it is easy to track instead of individual shares. Individual shares needs to be tracked daily, monitor their business, monitor quarterly results which consumes lot of time.
Leveraged funds are easy to manage and could trade easily without any hassles and they were trading since years.
I strongly oppose investment regulations. T+ made it very difficult to sell/buy back in a timely manner due to this limitation. I depend on leveraged/inverse vs investing in much riskier individual equities to smooth out the day to day moves, bad earnings.
Stop the after hours trading unless every single investor has the same timeframe of trading!
