What is Mediation
Mediation is a non-binding alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process in which a neutral mediator helps the parties reach an agreed resolution of the disputed issues in the disciplinary proceeding. The mediator assists the parties in reaching their own negotiated settlement by defining the issues, probing and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each party’s positions,
I should have the right to invest as I choose. I invest in many different assets, from high risk (options) to low risk (farm land). Again, my investments should be my choice & should not have restrictions.
Thank you for allowing freedom of choice.
This type of investment opportunity should be available to everyone and not just a few, higher wealthy investors. I know the risks and I have experienced gains and losses with this type of leveraged investing. Taking this away from anyone is taking away freedoms and not helping reduce risk for an individual investor.
Please dont restrict our ability to invest in ETFs. They are valuable investment tools and help hedge high risk portfolios or add options to low risk portfolios to increase returns. Theyre a much better option than high flying stocks with almost no earnings.
Limiting investments to the ultra-wealthy erodes trust in FINRA. All investors assume risk and the investors, after being made aware of the risks, should control their investing behaviors. Please do not limit my investment options just because Im not a member of the elite club.
As a personal investor, I understand the risk and reward with leveraged products. In todays time, there is plenty of information available for someone to make an informed decision around suitability. They are not for everyone, but for those that understand the risk, they can be a great addition to their portfolio. There does not need to be regulation around self-directed investing.
I support the notion that investors should take the risks on their own investment. Any restrictions like passing test shouldn't be imposed. I am using leveraged and inverse funds (ETFs) to hedge my risks in short-term basis while mostly I have invested in the long-term basis.
Comments: Please do no limit access to leveraged funds. I use them extensively, and they are excellent trading products. For those that are not familiar with them, there are excellent precautions in place by brokerages, including the requirement to read and sign information about the risks, as well as a risk statement with every trade.
I believe people should be informed as to what type of risk they are taking but they are responsible for understanding what investment they are making and thus what magnitude of risk they are taking. Please don't restrict my ability to invest or my rights to invest in leveraged or inverse funds.
Thank you.
This is the United States of America!! I should have the right to invest and leverage risk any way I see fit. Who are you to say if I and/or anyone else is smart enough or wealthy enough to take on higher or inverse risks based on their own personal investment strategies?
