Absolute tyranny to restrict public investment opportunities while a privileged few would have limitless opportunities.
Deeming a product "too complex" and requiring testing or demonstration of high net worth is proof that this concept of investment freedom is something a few at the top enjoy and seek to strip from the remainder.
It's not the place of federal regulators to decide whether an investor is "smart enough" for particular commodities, nor to impose means testing that discriminates against the less affluent. Further, such rules could impose a disparate impact on minority communities given the current wealth distribution, and village civil rights laws.
Respect the intelligence and free will of the public and do not place limitations on investing in leveraged or inverse funds. Allow everyone, not just the super wealthy, to have access to these specialized investment vehicles without having onerous testing and qualification requirements.
I am a responsible investor and these funds are critical to my investment strategy.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities,like leveraged and inverse funds. I'm capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST
I understand the risks associated with inverse and leveraged investment products. These proposed restrictions will not protect me from losing money, they will interfere with my ability to plan for my future. I should not have to pass a test before I am allowed to invest in public securities.
Im more than capable of analyzing risk and choosing what investment opportunities to pursue. Government agencies should not restrict investment opportunities or make access to them more difficult through needless testing, cooling off periods, or be forced to explain my understanding of the investment and the associated risks.
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. We the public should be able to choose public investments that are right for us. These should be available to all not just the privileged! We should not have to pass through any special processes like testing before we can invest !!
I should not be limited to make decisions for myself and family, not regulators. I should not have to pass a test and jump through government hoops to invest in public securities.Leverage and inverse funds are a hedge of other investment I have to protect overall returns. I dont need unnecessary restructures placed on my freedom to invest.
Please do not restrict my rights to choose what I invest in. Any publicly traded stock should be just that. Public. If I want to buy it I should not have to pass any kind of test. I am just as smart as any regulator and am able to make my own investing decisions.
I don't think regulators should make the determination what investments are appropriate for my needs. There should not be obstacles to investing in inverse or leveraged funds. I am comfortable with taking on that risk. Adding a regulator-approved test in order to be able to invest in these funds is an unnecessary intrusion on my right to invest as I see fit.
