I am opposed to a plan which makes restrictions on being able to buy and sell inverse funds without jumping through a variety of hoops to get permission. However, it would be good to have rules on the prospectus documents explaining in very clear language what the unusual risks are from using the funds. The special coverage of risks could be put right at the beginning of the prospectus and
We live in America the land of the free and we should be able to freely invest in whatever investment we so want. We do not nee regulators holding our hand with out investment choices. We know the risk and that is why we want to invest is to take a risk on making money or losing it. Stop the insanity and make investing more easily available for everyone not just the rich and wealthy.
We don't need big brother controlling our financial decisions. This is not 1984! I've already graduated from school many years ago. I don't need to take anymore tests. Leveraged and inverse funds are used to control risk in my portfolios.
Taking them away only puts my investments at a greater risk. Please give me and other investors like me Freedom To Choose.
Thank you

Public investments should be available to all of the public, hence why theyre called public investments, not just the privileged.

Thanks for asking investor's feedback.

I would not expect FINRA to block the product provider to offer any product
Dear Sirs,
I should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged. All people, not just rich/privileged should all be given the opportunity to benefit from greater gains which are available by using this type of investment. We, regular investors, are able to manage risk by only
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in any public security, I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. >90% of investors lean on the advice of an investment advisor, make those who sell investments pass investment risk knowledge tests, this is
There was a time where retail investing was uncommon, and markets have become more inclusive. That trend should continue, or at least not move backwards. Regulation should exist where there is information asymmetry and misaligned incentives, such as what CDO crisis that triggered 2008, which was mainly caused by banks not even understanding these assets and rating agencys being captured and
I am writing to urge you not to restrict my investment options. I should not be penalized because some naive people refuse to educate themselves about so called " complex investments".
