I want to choose my investments and NOT have regulators restrict me. I do not want them "protecting" me. Let me take my own risks. I am a financial professional and don't want to take any test to "qualify me". If I lose my investment, I will not be looking for a bail out. It is my responsibility to assess my own risks. The only exception is if
I am a private investor, I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. 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 have taken several investment courses; I am
As an individual investor, I take full responsibility for my investment choices. Public investment tools should be available to all, not just the privileged. Leveraged and inverse funds, options, etc. are important financial tools in the portfolio. I sometimes use them for risk management. I am strongly against the proposal to limit the trading of such financial tools. I do not want to have to go
I am a buy and hold investor. I might make 2 or 3 trades each year. I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be able to invest in leveraged funds with money I can afford to lose. I am 92 and have been investing for over 70 years. One learns much quicker from their mistakes than from government rules. I also started with nothing, now I am considered wealthy. I probably would
I believe I should be able to choose whatever investments I feel are right for me and my family. There is no need to go through any special processes like passing a test, before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Those measures should not be imposed on me. I often use inverse funds to protect my portfolio or to increase my returns when the market moves
I strongly disagree with regulations that limit my ability to access a variety of investment options as an individual investor. I should be able to choose investments that are right for me. Public investments should certainly be available to all of the public, not just the financially privileged. I also shouldn't have to go through any special process or test to invest in public
I understand you are considering limiting access to leveraged/inverse funds. I have used these for several years to hedge my investments and/or increase my returns with small purchases. There are already many investment vehicles that are only available to the wealthy. We need to have all investments available to as many people as possible so that everyone can get ahead - without having to pass
I oppose limitations on my investments.
DO NOT: Pass a regulator-imposed test of MY specialized investment knowledge
DO NOT: REQUIRE THAT I Demonstrate a high net worth
DO NOT: REQUIRE THAT I Get special approval from your broker
DO NOT: REQUIRE THAT I Attest to reading certain materials
DO NOT: REQUIRE THAT I Go through cooling off periods where you cant invest
It is my investors right to
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. I shouldnt have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like inverse or leveraged funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risk. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my strategies
I TOTALLY oppose restrictions to my right to invest! Just like freedom of speech, government isn't to be stopping freedom to invest! I know what is risky or not! I'm NOT stupid! I've been investing in leveraged funds for over ten years and doubled my HSA Medical account! Just think what little Medical funds I would have available with the government intervening. It
