1st of all I was a 30 yr account executive/financial advisor. inverse and leveraged investments are an important tool to counter volatility in your portfolio during extreme market conditions and over valuations. As I have seen in the past that 10 years of earnings can be erased in 2 months. We need these funds to insure our financial well being especially in retirement years. We can't
Please do not remove my ability, as a small investor, to trade leveraged ETFs. I have used such positions many times over the years to hedge against specific risks and without these, I would have had no way to do it, either out of a lack of access or because it would have been too expensive or too complex.
Inverse ETFs are very useful hedging instruments for smaller investors like myself. Please do not discriminate against individual investors by taking away the freedom to choose our own investments.
This is an unfair rule preventing ordinary investors from taking full advantage of the market. As a graduate of law school, I am perfectly capable of making these types of decisions without being forced to take burdensome tests. There should be no such requirement provided I am offering no advice to others about investment. I strongly oppose this measure.
Your proposal is treating investors like children. I am opposed to ptoposed rule S7-24-15. I have a PhD in business administration and am capable of deciding my own investment strategy without the hoops you propose for investors to jump through.
Dear FINRA Regulators, I AM OPPOSED TO RESTRICTIONS ON MY RIGHT TO INVEST in inverse investments as an individual. It is important that the public at large, and in particular, me and my family, be allowed to invest in inverse ETF's without restriction or further regulatory interference by imposing additional regulations. We, as investors, are in charge of knowing the risks and opportunities
I should be able to make investment choices without restriction. I understand that I can assess my own risks and do not need to be tested on my knowledge. I don't think people should be discriminated based upon what their net worth should be to invest in these products.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. I should have to go through any special process.
I am against further regulation on leveraged and inverse funds. These kinds of funds provide a very convenient and easy-to-use set of tolls to either hedge your portfolio or enhance its performance. I feel the existing regulations covering these securities are sufficient to protect individual investors.
