Please consider the small investors who want to hedge their investments in times of turbulence. The small investor has few places to go because the larger firms which might assist with hedging will not do business with a small investor. The rich get richer generally at the expense of the small investor, More tools like these, well monitored, are the better solution. Taking away tools like
I have been investing for about 50 years, during that time I have seen a growing manipulation of the equity markets by bankers at the Federal Reserve. They have fattened there own trading accounts by creating excessive liquidity and pushing markets well beyond rational levels (creating a wealth effect). There is no longer value on the "long" side. Inverse ETFs provide a means for value
You (the Govt) does not have any right to limit or restric my investment decisions. This is unconstitutional and you have no such authority. Leveraged investments are part of my investing now. What would you do, FORCE ME to sell my investments at an inopportune time. If you would do such a thing, you will be liable for any investment losses you cause as well as missed opportunities for higher
This likely wouldn't protect as intended. Those with this risk appetite will simply search out other risky (and riskier) assets. Restricting the free market in this way will just hurt more than it will help. The risks associated with leveraged and inverse products is well documented, and all brokerages that offer them prompt with warnings before allowing trades. Adding extra bars for entry
Comments: I oppose any further rule-making to limit access to so-called "complex products" (e.g. leveraged / inverse funds or ETFs). There are already plenty of warnings provided regarding the risky nature of these products. At my broker's website, for example, I receive a notification every time I attempt to purchase these products indicating their risky nature and
Can't believe such a regulation comes from FINRA?! America is about THE Ultimate country to let investors to have total freedom investing in this amazing market, with such action is like telling the world this country is not as confident as before any more!
there's always risks in investment,bigger return higher the risk, it's just common sense, I understand the words
As an experienced non-accredited investor, I am totally opposed to limiting my investment options. Some of my best investments this year are on the list: commodity funds, managed futures funds, private REITs, etc. While stocks and bonds have performed very poorly in 2022, these investments have hedged some of my portfolios and actually perform well in an inflationary environment. Please do not
i am completely against FINRA's potential regulation for me, an investor, to freely invest in leveraged ETF's. Currently, I am up over 100% using both short and long leveraged funds. All the funds that i have invested in over the years had plenty of warnings as well as instructions detailing for me how to invest in leveraged funds. It is a government overreach to stop
Please do not take away my ability to invest in leveraged ETF and into anything. I'm well aware of what I'm doing and I don't need to be restricted by regulators. There are way too many restrictions on US investors already.
Tying ability to invest to net worth is elitist and exclusionary. It further perpetuates the wealth gap because one could only become wealthy
I sincerely OPPOSE any potential Interference by FINRA Regulators on my ability to invest in public investments such as leveraged and inverse funds. I use these funds to protect (hedge) my investment portfolio as well as to grow it as I see fit over the long term. PLEASE do not restrict my constitutional rights to use my money for any legal purpose which includes INVESTING in the public
