I would like you to let me maintain my ability to choose the type of investments that I consider are best for my family's financial future. This includes my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds since I understand the trade details and inherent risks involved. Please do not take away my ability to freely and unhindered invest in such products. Leveraged and inverse fund
Dear Sirs, for several years I have been investing in the market and I am well aware of the risks and rewards of the available assets and tools to negotiate them. I am a retired small trader with accounts at three different brokers, therefore I wrote three of these comments, one for each platform. I am an educated person and feel comfortable and aware of my investment proficiency, Please, do not
Dear Sir/Madam:
Leveraged and inverse funds are a vital part of helping me to hedge my portfolio and avoiding constant trading. I use these tools to short the S&P 500 or other indexes when they have become frothy (in my view). These products reduce the volatility and allow me to stay in core positions longer. I use them as short-term hedges and the risks of staying in them too long
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
This is business in America. If you regulate trading in inverse and leveraged investment vehicles, you also need to regulate the buying of all stocks. Especially in times of bubbles which has been created by our monetary decision makers! Business does NOT only increase in value, it also goes down and if I wish, I believe a person should also be able to profit from poorly run businesses and also
I, as the investor, should be able to choose what investments I want to commit my capital to. As an investor, I should have all available information about an investment to make a prudent decision based on my goals and risk tolerance. Putting restrictions on investments deemed high risk is only favoring those that are approved to trade them. I request that FINRA focuses on ensuring that proper
Individual investors must always be able to choose whatever investments they decide are right for them and their family. After over 5 decades of investing, I should not be required to prove to some regulator that I am capable of responsibly handling all aspects of my financial situation. The vast majority of investors use leverage only to protect their other positions and/or to amplify the
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
This puts the consumer at a disadvantage. Inverse and leveraged have their place for definite reasons such as hedging in order to limit or even gain on a potential loss. Or you have want to effectively want to increase ones exposure to a particular short term. IF people can trade options and warrants I don't understand why this area would not be treated differently after all these
This is disgusting!! once again, you limit the options for the average american and give even more advantage to the rich in the stockmarket! Obviously, your motive is to prevent declines in stock prices,90% of which are owned by the top 10% of the population. Leveraged and inverse funds are easier to trade and safer than options and futures. The rich don't need any more advantages than they
