I am an accredited investor and I don't see any reason why someone with less than a million in net worth or makes less than $200,000 a year can't be an accredited Investor as well. It makes NO sense when you allow for sports betting, casino's, and las vegas where the odds of losing your money can be much much higher. It's a racket to protect banks and large
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. My money is my money. I should be able to choose whether to invest it or not. If I choose to invest it, I should be able to invest it in whatever way I see fit. A politician should not have any say in how I invest MY money!
I am very capable of doing my own research and take every investment into thorough consideration before investing. I should not
Hello, I believe I should be able to invest in publicly available funds without government interference. I know what is best for my financial situation and believe I should have the right to make decisions based on what I believe to be the best.
I am fully capable of doing the research and understanding what I am investing in. I should not have to prove myself capable. Such measures would be a
I don't think regulators should be telling me what public investments I can and cannot invest in. I have done well investing in leveraged funds. They should be readily available to everyone, not just the wealthy and connected people. It is a matter of having a level playing field for everyone and should not be restricted (tests, permissions, etc.) unless those same restrictions are placed on
Dear FINRA, I am concerned about the potential changes that could affect my ability to purchase leveraged and inverse funds. I am an ardent supporter of the general public having access to the funds without the need to make these purchases though privileged brokers. I am well aware of the limitations and risk involved with these funds. The process that is being considered to make these purchases
These restrictions intended to be imposed are not appropriate. The Market is an inherent risk and a free space for those to invest. I have made good and poor investment decision with their own outcomes that have played out well or been not so great. And even in the midst of regrets of the the poor circumstances - I would not have wanted any other way then to have learned from those decisions and
It has come to my attention that there maybe regulations imposed on investors who invest in Inverse ETF's. I am a very small investor. My account size is less than $50,000. However, I use these ETF funds as a counterweight to my 401k investment accounts and other investments.
I am not an uneducated investor, and am well aware of the risks of investing, having traded both Futures
As is often the case in government policy, the motivations of this seem good. However, limiting investments until someone has a liquid net worth of 1M or other limit has proven suboptimal. These specialized products are risk management tools - perhaps used to hedge a portfolio without selling and realizing gains, or taking advantage of markets that would otherwise be unavailable without a large
I am shocked and disheartened to know that regulations/prospectuses are under consideration to preclude retail investors from trading the Leveraged and Inverse ETFs, such as TQQQ and SQQQ, etc. As a retail investor with limited funds to hedge against market risks, for instance, I often buy SQQQ to protect my tech stock position without holding up a large proportion of my liquidity, which has
I resent the thought that I cannot choose for myself what investment products work best for me. And I find it insulting, manipulative and corrupt that only those with privilege (high net worth investors) would be allowed to use these trading vehicles. I use these types of vehicles to hedge positions as well as to take advantage of down movements, since I can not use options in my IRA account. I
