If you are going put restrictions on investment strategies, ban those investments on ALL. Why should large investors have an advantage over small? Was Lehmann Bros. large or small? In the last melt down who did the Government bail out? Wells Fargo stealing identity of account holders for unauthorized credit cards. Same regs on all.
Comments: I have been in this business for over 50 years and one of my primary functions is to educated my client on what they are considering to invest in. It is time well spent so as not to have a customer say you did not tell me this or that. For someone else making the determination that this process was not achieved I am truly disappointed that an investment opportunity I recommended would
Im a financial advisor and only invest in these products for myself and have extensive knowledge in these securities and have been incredibly crucial to my investment strategy and DI NOT WANT TO LOSE ACCESS TO INVEST IN LEVERAGED ETFs. I am aware of the risks and the brokerage firms also make me well aware of the risks. Please do not take away access to invest in these securities!
I oppose limitations to block or restrict my investing activities. All stocks have risk and if measures are sought to restrict a certain commodity then i say stop the whole global market trading as well. This is a gross overreach of FINRA to assume this is in the best interest of the investor. Tsla, amzn, nflz, fb, etc are significantly riskier than a leveraed etf based on the broad market.
I have over 20 years experience trading leveraged funds. They are vital to my investment strategy both in large accounts and small accounts. In the past these investments have worked well for me. Do not place needles regulations that preclude my trading them. Every investor should be allowed to trade independently as a free trading environment enhances the overall marketplaces
Being able to invest in an inverse bond fund has allowed me to mitigate risk that I would be unable to achieve on my own. Without the freedom to invest a small part of my portfolio in an inverse bond fund I would have suffered significant losses, and I lack the bandwidth to buy and sell options directly. The 1% overhead cost of the fund is well worth it.
I am an engineer and has strong understanding of the characteristics and risks of L&I Funds, and that their purpose is for short-term active trading. I never invest in these funds for longer term. I can say there is nothing complex to understand how L&I funds work. America is a country of equal opportunities so equal trading rights should be given to retail investors as well as
As a retail investor and active participant in the free market, it is my personal choice as to whether I can invest in a speculative asset or not. Government does well to regulate markets, but should not prevent any individual from deciding how to participate. The SEC does not regulate gambling which is essentially the same thing. Dont make crypto investing unattainable for non accredited
As an individual investor, I find leveraged funds essential to my long-term financial plans. While I understand that such funds can be harmful to those who do not have discipline or training to use them well, many other individual investors like me use them profitably. Please do not curtail our freedom to use leveraged or inverse funds.
The people who are trying to stop those who are investing in leverage d etfs. Are not concerned about me. They simply want to control me. It is true you can lose a lot of money. Or make a lot. But if you find to right opportunity and are refused well then I'll look for another country to move to. That means less tax money for the the people who refuse me.
