I have just learned from my brokers communication that FINRA is seeking public comments on restricting investors from buying a broad range of public securities designated as "complex products". I am an investor to handle my retirement accounts. It is very important for me to use as many tools as possible to protect my investments including inverse funds instruments for and
I am commenting on FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08:
- FINRA's proposed limits may restrict my access to L&I Funds or disqualify me from trading L&I Funds or other "complex products".
- I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family with public investments available to everyone in the public.
- I have a strong
The blatant manipulation against AMC and GME makes me lose complete faith in the US stock market. I am working on moving my money out of the US stock system. It's clear that our government is bought and paid for. This system with tutes lying about short positions, dark pools, secondary books by brokers, unchecked FTD's and high-frequency trading makes an unfair playing field to where
I know what I'm doing with regard to my own investments. I should not have to jump through regulatory hoops to invest my own hard-earned money without significant regulation like "the big boys."
I shouldn't have to go through special processes like passing a test or demonstrating a high net worth to buy what I want with my own money. Ever. This sort of
As a small business owner and someone who enjoys directing my own investments, I want to comment on the proposed regulation of leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged funds make up a small, but important part, of my investment strategy. These funds are not difficult to understand nor are their potential risks and benefits. My investment strategy is conservative but leveraged funds give me an
I oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in public investments, including and not limited to leveraged funds.
I am the one to decide which investments are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to everyone, not just those someone considers privileged.
There should be no process to go through like passing a test, we don't need some bureaucrat. I am
I am writing in opposition to limiting, and/or curtailing, access to certain complex trades. Limiting access to the general public promotes a preferred class and thus discriminates. Mandating qualifications further promulgates class distinction, in the guise of evaluating financial literacy. It perpetuates an old-boy culture.
Free and open trade should be supported; not denied. Individual
Leveraged and inverse ETFs offer regular investors a safe way to invest in a wider variety of securities, achieve higher returns and meet financial goals faster. Without these instruments, achieving these returns would require investors to take risky short positions or margin trade, which are much riskier than being able to invest in these funds. My brokerage already has adequate warnings about
Dear FINRA Members, As well as you may know, in Argentina we have serious limitations or restrictions to manage our own surplus money. And that's the reason why I thought your country was a bit different from ours, because you have the freedom (as in many other things) to invest in whatever you want to. Now, reading about all these "rules" "tests" , etc only brings me bad
The reasons I am opposed at any further regulations that restrict my ability to trade in securities of my choice is that it would limit my ability to offset the volatility of many of the securities I choose to trade. I am able to determine my risk levels and leverage levels when trading and I oppose any special process you may be considering, such as tests. I do not need to be hampered by any
