Remarks by Chairman and CEO Rick Ketchum at the Security Traders Association Annual Conference
Dear Sir,
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
including cryptocurrency funds. Please leave it up to individual investors to decide if they want to invest in cryptocurrency funds and assume their risks.
Summary
FINRA seeks comment on a proposal to implement the recommendations of the Securities Industry/Regulatory Council on Continuing Education (CE Council) enhancing the continuing education requirements for securities industry professionals.1 The proposal would change the: (1) Regulatory Element to provide annual training, make the content more relevant, incorporate diverse instructional
why the regulators always think they are smarter than we the people? Are they truly try to do good for us or just want more and more power upon us? Leave us lone! The regulators aka the Government is the one need to be watched and tested and further to be regulated more
Quit messing with are investments! Who made you God? Everyone should be able to without 'your tests!' America would be a better place without Elitists like you! You think you own everything and everyone, don't you! Quit looking down on people!
I should have the right to determine my own financial future and invest in any lawful endeavor without government restrictions. The investment opportunities should be available to every person without any conditions. There should be no process or test administered by regulators to determine an individual's investing competence.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. Investment decisions should be in the individual investor's control. Unique, special processes like passing a test for leveraged or inverse funds is unnecessary. These types of investments are important strategies that should be up to individual investors choices without special procedures.
I'm deeply disturbed by the potential restrictions on trading leveraged ETFs. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.Government shouldn't interfere and set unreasonable hurdle such as passing a test to the type of investment I choose. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
Investors such as myself should be able to invest in leveraged funds without needing special processes or tests. Leveraged funds should be available to public regardless of education or net worth. Leveraged funds are far more safe investment vehicles when compared to stock options or cryptocurrency.
It's my money and It's my right to invest it as I see fit. Why should I have to pass a test to invest my own money? Inverse and leveraged funds are important to my investment strategies. Please walk away from controlling my investment strategies.
