Comments: I think providers of leverage and index funds are doing a fantastic job warning about the risks. Instead of handcuffing us with this ruling, perhaps make the training and certification more rigorous? Better idea, how about you stop Congress from being able to have unfair trading practices before you start interrupting the retail investor?
Any limiting regulations on my ability to utilize leveraged products will substantively reduce my investment returns and adversely impact my ability to hedge and enhance my positions. Investing and trading are not "risk free" endeavors. Denying products to the many as a few may suffer adverse consequences is unfair and punishes the "little guy" that so many regulators claim to
I understand that an unprecedented threat by regulators is being considered. The implications will be negative in a free market and this should not take place, I have been trading long and short term leveraged equities for many years, and feel it is my right to do so I know you can stop this intended regulations being considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Thank you
Hello. Although I do believe that certain investments are not for everybody, restricting publicly traded investments is not the right path. Fidelity Investments has a Designated Investor Agreement to have on record that I understand the risks associated with more complex etfs and investments. I feel that is enough of a warning, but please do not restrict me from using these for my personal
Please do not implement restrictions on public trading of various Funds, ETFs, CDs or securities. Any limitations will only result in furthering the uneven distribution of wealth and inequalities in our society by limiting who will have access to certain types of investments.
Please do not create an environment where only elites will have access to certain investments.
Thank you.
I oppose limitations to block or restrict my investing activities. All stocks have risk and if measures are sought to restrict a certain commodity then i say stop the whole global market trading as well. This is a gross overreach of FINRA to assume this is in the best interest of the investor. Tsla, amzn, nflz, fb, etc are significantly riskier than a leveraed etf based on the broad market.
The stock market is a crap shot. Volatility has increased tremendously since the DOWN TICK RULE TO SHORT was removed. Whether you buy a leveraged/ inverse fund or NETFLIX, AMAZON, or commodities, they all go up and they all go down. THATS THE GAME. Diversity isnt working now either with bonds AND stocks trading lower. Thats the game.
I understand that Benjamin Franklin started trading stocks in the early days of the republic. Investing in other people's ideas, products, innovations, designs is an essential freedom - though risky it might be - for citizens of this land. Do not meddle with it, thinking we need protection from risk. This tendency to regulate and socially engineer everything will collapse-in on itself and
Do not limit my ability to invest and control how I do it. You do not know me or represent me so hands off. I'm an investor and take the risk that comes with investing. Why don't you stop legislators from investing and insider trading instead. They should ONLY be able to invest in ETF's or mutual funds and NOT individual securities.
Comments: FINRA should stop trying to prop up the stock market and keep its nose out of retail trading. They are just trying to prop up what will be a dying stock market to protect all of the institutional investors. I urge them to back off and make no further changes to freedoms in the market. Let the market be open and free with no further interference.
