My personal choices about how I allocate my investments are my decision alone. FINRA should not have the authority to restrict what and how I invest my money, eliminates access to high value propositions for retail investors, and is ultimately antithetical to foundational principles of the American Dream and the stock market
To who it may concern,
I oppose restrictions on investing in these investment vehicles as they are far less risky then investing in individual stocks, options, futures, and cryptocurrencies. I invest in many of these regularly and have reduced my risk considerably. If you restrict these in a way that I could not use them then you are accomplishing the opposite of your goal.
I use leveraged ETFs to hedge a portfolio of stocks owned by my parents. In addition, I trade them for my smaller personal account because I am too fearful to trade futures, and futures options are overly expensive. These ETFs are very useful and I hope you do not place nay restrictions on them.
I like to invest in leveraged ETFs. Im quite aware of the risks and potential long and short term fluctuations. And my desire to speculate with my money ought to be my choice.
Individual investors ought to be able to invest in any ETFs. Theyre much safer than some horrendous penny stocks.
I oppose restrictions on your right to invest in public investments. What makes US stock market so great is our ability to freely invest in an investment script. While I agree for certain regulation to avoid fraudulent schemes and normal up-keep of market health, this regulation removes the common right to invest.
I need to access commodity funds, emerging market funds, and cryptocurrency funds as the alternative investment in my IRA account. These investment vehicles have been working so well in the downtrend of the stock market. In such a high inflation rate environment, these alternative funds are the critical investment opportunity in the long-term investment strategy.
Implementation of #S7-24-15 will adversely affect my ability to strategically leverage and use inverse funds to hedge against losses on my stock accounts. I should be free to make the public investments need to protect my family's assets without regulatory interference. Please do not remove another freedom!
I am against the passage of Proposed Rule #S7-24-15. I have found leveraged and inverse ETF's easy to understand and trade. The risk involved in high beta stocks can be higher. I prefer to trade long in lieu of short selling and puts. Inverse EFT's are my vehicle for being long but bearish.
I teach ETFs, both leveraged and un-leveraged ETFs to 13 year olds. They understand them very easily. All one has to do is to search what the ETF is composed of on a site like ETFDB.com or any other website. The ETF leverage is often also stated in the name of the stock next to the ticker.
Dear FINRA, Please oppose restrictions to my right to invest in products which will protect my capital. The freedom to invest is paramount for investors to be treated equally and fairly in all products. The adoption of unfair rules will harm American stock market investors. Please stop this illegal adoption of new rules.
