1. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. 2. Explain that you are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Tell regulators you do not need these measures imposed on you. 3. As a small investor in a volatile market driven by big players investments need to be protected by leveraged hedging. 4. It attacks small investors
I do not need regulators to control how I invest my money. This is obstruction to a free and fair market. I should not have to have an abundance of wealth in order to invest my money, in any type of investment. It is my duty to accept those risks and not for others to determine what is the correct risk level for my portfolio. Please stop trying to control the market.
I would like to speak in opposition to rule changes re leveraged ETF's. These investment products have allowed me to hedge some of my risk in the markets. These products are cost effective. They allow me to keep most of remaining investments in conservative low beta alternatives, while allowing a small portion of my portfolio to hedge some of the risk. Steve Davis
This rule is unacceptable. There is no place to limit "risky" investments from the people. If someone decides to invest in something they do not fully understand, they are accepting the risk that they may loose significant amounts of money. There is no reason to protect people from these. Everyone should be provided with free choice to invest where they wish. Worst case scenario
Dear FINRA,
I am an RIA with a CFF certification and I am opposed to this. The proposed rule would put regulators in charge of my clients' funds. As a 12 year industry veteran, I understand the risks involved with these investments; consequently, any client considering these investments (which is rare, I might add) is *well aware* of the risks involved. Please consider not adding
Hi I truly believe as an investor that we should be able to decide how we can invest our hard earned money, and not by regulators out there, every investor is aware of the risks that they take, and it should be totally up to them to decide how to invest their money freely and how big of a risk they want to take without any objections from government regulators, thanks
Only I have the right to determine how I invest my funds. I am the one who understands what risks I am capable of undertaking. Who are you to tell me what I can do with my very hard earned funds. Did any of you ever run a business? If not, you are not acquainted with what risk is. This is an outrage. Turn down these silly regulations.
I need these inverse ETFs to properly run my personal portfollio. If these funds go away, the only way I can manage my retirement accounts is to buy put options that expire and carry a lot more risk than just a simple inverse ETF. I also like having the leverage. It allows me to add only a fraction of the risk associated with options with better results.
Investment is a personal choice. Investor has right to decide what is best for him/her. Every investor knows that stock market presents risks and rewards. Individual investor has right to choose investment vehicle available, based on his/her experience and risk tolerance. Government may be able to restrict risky investment for uneducated/inexperienced, even if suggested by an advisor or money
An investors like myself should decide what are the right investments without having to go through screening processes imposed by regulators. I have been using leveraged and inverse funds for decades to enhance my portfolio's returns and to hedge against risks. Freedom to choose includes freedom to take risk. Please do not take away my freedom on how to invest.
