Dear FINRA Committee Members, Please do not impose trading restrictions on “Complex Products.” I am a retired public employee who has been investing for over 25 years, managing a ROTH account, 457 plan account, as well as a retail account. I sometimes use ETFs, including inverse and leveraged. They are an integral part of my investing toolbox. I am not a high net worth individual and desire to
Hello, I very strongly oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me, and the risk that I take on - and I am comfortable with the level of risk that comes with investing in cryptocurrency funds. I am an experienced female investor with a diversified portfolio and cryptocurrency funds are an important piece of
I am appalled at the regulatory overreach being proposed here attempting to limit the ability of regular people like myself from investing in funds how I choose to and at the risk level I choose and am comfortable with. Investors like myself understand that funds, ETF's, leveraged or not contain risk and I do not need some ghost agency behind the curtain trying to make my decisions for me.
All investing comes with risk. By choosing to invest, we investors willingly assume that risk. Regulations should not be used as an to attempt to save unwise investors from themselves. The State allows lotteries and widespread sports betting, which inevitable causes more financial harm to unwise investors than leveraged and inverse funds. Thus, I see these proposed regulations as unnecessary
Comments: To whom it may concern: I am writing to provide input concerning the issue of FINRA proposed rules to limit access to leveraged and inverse ETFs and "complex products". I use leveraged and inverse ETFs regularly as a hedge against market volatility. This has been a very valuable and successful tool for me. I fully understand that uneducated investors may use them incorrectly
Respected Regulators, Leveraged and inverse ETFs help me hedge my portfolio and I would really appreciate if you don't impose any rules such as passing a test before investing in such ETFs. Investors understand the risks these risks since the information is widely available. I would really appreciate if you let investors choose what works best for them. Thank you!
There's absolutely no reason to put restrictions on investing in leveraged and inverse funds. All investments carry risk, and those risks in this instance are NOT somehow hidden from the investor. If you start implementing restrictions, where does it end? Because the very same argument for them here, can be used elsewhere as well. Please do not take investing down that dead end road.
Please do not burden leveraged and inverse ETFs with more regulation. You will be taking my rights away to freely invest in these vehicles. I should be able to make my own choices and not be restricted by government excessive oversight. I shouldn't be required to pass a test to invest. Inverse funds are important to me to mitigate risk when investing and protecting against the downside. I
I have used leveraged and inverse funds many times as I grow my holdings, I don't want my ability to use these types of funds restricted. Please do not add another layer of regulation to the use of these funds. I would not be opposed to a better level of education of the risk of these funds, perhaps included in a simple and basic explanation for rookie investors to better understand the
I use these investments tactically to hedge, and they have been very helpful in mitigating risk and improve returns. I really don't appreciate being treated like a child just because I'm not high net worth. People have a right to make their own decisions. Your only job is to inform people objectively and without hyperbole. Once people have agreed to the risks, it is their responsibility
