I am AGAINST passage of FINRA’s Regulatory Notice 22-08 taking effect.
I use leveraged indexed ETF's actively trading them over short time horizons under steady participation in a long time horizon (25+ years) to smooth out inconsequential market fluctuations, even as much as 50%+, as part of my overall portfolio strategy. The financial services providers servicing these funds have been
Risk and reward go together in Free Enterprise. The responsibility to understand risk and then willingness to engage are an individual's prerogative. Those of us who are educated, responsible, and recognize the downside should be allowed to invest in leveraged funds. I am somewhat offended that people who don't understand the risk "cry foul" when they don
To The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
I'm disappointed to learn you are considering measures to prevent or restrict my choice to purchase complex products. Even though they are a small piece of my portfolio, they are very important. They provide a hedge to balance my portfolio and reduce risk. They also outperform most of my portfolio on a short term allowing me to increase
I have been investing for many years and it is just un-american to try to stop normal up standing American citizens from the right to make their own investment decisions. It is important that each individual have the right to choose the best investments for their family. All investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged super-rich who then take advantage of the
Dear FINRA Regulators,
I understand that you are AGAIN considering to limit my capability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. This the the second time in about 5 or 6 years you have attempted to do this. Please DO NOT impose your proposed limitations because this would hurt small investors, such as myself, to utilize such tools for investments and protection against major market swings.
I use inverse bond funds as a speculative tool to profit from a rise in interest rates just like someone who would sell bond futures short. Trading bond futures is more leveraged and riskier than what I am doing so why would you limit what I am doing but not restrict bond futures trading as well. There is no logic to that. I am asking you to NOT take my right to buy and hold inverse and leveraged
I am opposed to new rules regarding leveraged and inverse ETFs. I am a seasoned investor and conduct my own research. You should not be babysitting myself or my portfolio. There is plenty of information available already for the public to read and decide for themselves. You are stepping over the line in making this judgement that individuals need monitoring.
The cost of any bureaucracy to
As a retail investor, I find it insulting and disrespectful that FINRA could think that leveraged and inverse ETFs and other products are too complex for the retail investor to use and that you need to protect us from these products. I have used various leveraged and inverse products for many years and had made significant amounts of money trading with these important tools. If you remove these
To Whom It May Concern - I consider the proposed FINRA restrictions to Leveraged and Inverse funds to be yet another example of the Nanny State coming to the rescue of individuals that the government and their agencies feel the need to protect. I for one am more than capable of understanding the risks of these investment vehicles and want NO restrictions on my investment strategy. L&I
I use double and triple leveraged long and short index funds as one of multiple tools to implement my investment objectives. I invest a small percentage of my investment portfolio in leveraged assets. These leveraged investments achieve a small dumbbell portfolio distribution in what is predominantly a conservative porfolio.
I am a high net worth investor and require special permission to
