Dear Regulators and to whom it may concern.
Owning and managing leveraged funds like pro shares ETFs since 2007, I understand how they work and react with market trends and am fully aware of any risks, as it is explicitly explained with no discretion from those companies and by the nature of those types of ETFs. I should be able to chose if I buy them or sell them as a regular investor, with no
The FINRA Board of Governors meets this week in New York for the final time in 2018. Read President and CEO Robert Cook’s email to firms previewing the agenda.
Ladies & Gentlemen,
It is my understanding that the FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08 is putting at risk my opportunity to invest in various methods of investing suggesting that I do not have an adequate understanding in how to do so while limiting the risk to me and my family. I and my family members, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are appropriate
I have been trading 3x leveraged funds for 12 years, namely TQQQ but many others including UDOW which I consider a very safe investment long term.
I started my journey investing when my companies pension plan was paid out. I received 17,568 dollars that I rolled into an IRA. I have grown that initial investment into hundreds of thousands of dollars for my family and myself for retirement. I
I am deeply disturbed by the proposed regulation limiting access to leveraged and inverse ETFs (which are publicly-traded securities) to those with high net worth who pass a specialized regulatory exam and then jump through a series of administrative and timing-related hoops.
Leveraged and inverse ETFs are one of the few methods that the little guy has in order to protect his or her investments
I strongly disagree with the regulations on leveraged products that FINRA is proposing. As a retail investor, I should be able to choose my investments and make decisions as to what is right for me and my family, without having to go through some special process, be it passing tests, or meeting some net worth that only privileges those with higher net worths.. who are already advantaged with
I am a retail investor that has been successfully trading in leveraged investment vehicles for more than four years. These vehicles are important to my personal investment style and I am very comfortable with the EFT I have chosen.
Through my own study of the EFT and the prospectus provided by the fund, I am well acquainted with the risks inherently involved in the purchase and sale of my chosen
I believe that inverse funds are necessary to effectively manage my portfolio. As an individual investor it can be very challenging to hedge against market volatility and large draw-downs in the market. Inside retirement accounts, I have very few tools to hedge my portfolio, shorting and options are generally not allowed. That leaves buying of inverse ETFs as one of the few options to provide
I strongly oppose this proposed rule. Having managed my own investments for years, I am well aware of the dangers and potential benefits of leveraged and inverse funds. They have been an important part of my investment portfolio for years. I choose to manage my own risk subject to my own investing objectives, and deeply oppose the government regulators trying to manage them for me and others
To whom it may concern!
This is very unfair for most individual investors like me who wants to invest on my own at my own convenience and perform it quickly without having to go through financial advisers and wait on the phone forever to talk to financial advisers to get any transactions done. Public investments options should be available to the public, not just the privileged fews. That is
