It is absolutely essential that everyone be free to select any and all investments they wish to participate in without restrictions. Investing should never be reserved for just privileged individuals or be subject to special tests or other requirements. It has been widely accepted over the years that there are substantial risks involved with all investments. It is a learning process involving
To whom it may concern:
I dont know everything about investing but I do know that I have done really good in the recent year. Im sure I wouldnt know enough to pass a test you might be talking about. I do have enough common sense to be careful with my money. Respectfully you shouldnt be able to tell me how at what to invest MY money in.
I am strongly opposed to any regulation that would exclude anyone with a cash account from investing in complex financial instruments. This could lead to biases based on education level, race, beliefs, net worth, etc.
I believe that margin access could benefit from further scrutiny when used to purchase any financial instrument.
I am supportive of increasing awareness and additional education,
Public investments should be available for all, not just the wealthy. This includes not including requirements for testing or risk assessment on the part of the government.
Since most of these funds follow (or inverse) the whole market, I have found that they are more stable than other funds. Removing the ability to invest in such things is truly hurting the lower, middle and upper middle class
I strongly object this regulation that would limit my ability to invest in any public traded investments.
I also strongly protest any special processes like taking test before I can invest in leveraged and inverse funds.
These funds have been part of my investment strategy for a number of years. I understand the risks involved with these fund and use them to balance out my portfolio.
I oppose any and government regulations that would adversely affect my abilty to freely invest my money. From the wording I read you would not be allowing the stupid and the poor invest which would limit their ability to not be poor and stupid any more!.
pass a test ? if you fail you are stupid
If you do not have a high net worth , you are poor.
this is borderline communist !
I should be able to choose any public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just certain people.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest any public securities.
I are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
I can accept my own risks
I write to oppose restrictions on my ability to invest in any way. It is my responsibility to vet and select investments and investment vehicles I might use without the need to subject myself to tests or other practices deemed to protect me from myself. I use investments of this type as a hedge when I perceive the need. If these types of investments are available to some investors I feel they
I, and absolutely NOT government regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my portfolio. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
And I should NOT have to go through any special process, such as passing a prescribed/regulated test, before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
I understand how leverage products work and I have been using them for quite sometime. These products should be available to all investors, include myself, not only to the privileged ones. Leverage products are small part of my portfolio and I use them to hedge my portfolio. I understand how and when to use them and I dont need to go through special test to be able to access them. Thanks
