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
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
WE OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO OUR RIGHT TO INVEST. We not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

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.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you because I received a notice that I will be restricted to buy leveraged fund. I do not quite understand this decision because I am clear about what I am doing and understand the risk behind it.
Public investment should be available for everyone as long as they follow the rules and do not violate any regulations. I believe I have the rights to buy any
To whom it may concern,
I am very surprised to hear FINRA is considering restricting investors ability to trade leveraged and inverse funds.
I believe an American investor should have the right to choose how they wish to invest their money. It is helpful that brokerage firms provide information explaining the details and/or risks associated. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse
