Just like I can take a risk on a stock going up, I should likewise be able to take a risk on it going down. Seems like you want to be able to control the market up by flooding us with artificial stimulus ( I consider this endless counterfeiting of our currency) and artificially low interest rates by further increasing our national debt to ridiculous levels but you don't want to suffer the
I strongly oppose any regulations which further limits my ability to invest in public securities such as leveraged and inverse funds. I fully understand how these work, and the associated risks. It is completely unnecessary to implement any special process, measures or approval to utilize these funds. These need to remain accessible to EVERYONE, not just "trained" brokers and other
As an individual investor, I understand investing is inherently risky and it is my responsibility to evaluate each asset allocation with this in mind. I use leveraged and inverse products to manage risk and hedge long-term positions. The ability to do so cheaply and efficiently is critical to my strategy. My fear as it pertains to this regulation is that it will increase costs and make it more
I oppose this measure. Just because I'm not high net worth doesn't give you the right to take away my ability to reach that status. I use various products to hedge and improve returns. I know my risks. I'm not a child, and you are not my mother. Your only job is to prevent outright fraud as in lying and make sure people understand the risks. It is okay to have people have to sign
This should not be decided by regulators. This should be a freedom decided by the investor whose money is at risk. Should penny stocks, crypto and other equally risky assets be banned as well? Should investors not have the right to buy or sell assets during certain market conditions that regulars deem unsafe for the investor? No, these are decisions for those with assets who have decided to take
I believe public investments should be made available to the public, and not beheld to arbitrary regulations. This country operates on the principles of life, liberty, and the _pursuit_ of happiness. As such it should be the responsibility of the citizen to gauge the risk of their own assets, not a government imposition to prevent us from trying. As an investor, I am capable of gauging the risk
Please do not further restrict or regulate public trading in leveraged ETFs. My family uses several leveraged ETFs to smooth our investment risk over time (temporal diversification). Leveraged ETFs are easy and tax-efficient means to increase our investment exposure early in our accumulation phase so that we can take less risk near the end of the accumulation phase. Additional regulation will
I feel that I, not regulators, should have the right to choose the public investments that's best for my family. Publix investment s should be available to all the public, not just the privileged.
I should not have to pass a test in order to invest in public securities, including cryptoocurrency. I am capable of understanding the risk in these types of investments. And I can also
Inverse and leveraged funds are an important part of the market as it allows retail investors like myself to take part in products that are normally not available to us. The ability to hedge against certain products, market segments, or scenarios should not be limited by a regulatory body. I agree the complexity of these funds and their risks should be well understood by anyone who invests in
Dear FINRA, Both leveraged & inverse ETFs are an important part of my hedging strategy as a retail investor & trader. I do understand your concern for protecting an average investor. But the issuers adequately explain their unusual risk characteristic & I have been able to successfully build my portfolio with these ETFs included. I specifically use a forward & an
