To Whom It May Concern, I am appalled by any restrictions made on publicly traded securities, especially targeting the individual investor, like myself. I am fully capable and understand the risk involved in any investment, and should have the liberty to choose where to invest, without restrictions. In times like these, and market instability, leveraged and inverse funds are critical to my
this poses a severe and serious threat towards maket fairness. it's like locking us in home due to covid, but except the rich people and goverment people like you. retail traders or inverstors should have right to be freely choose whatever products and security that fit our trading strageties. Regulations should not be bias, only be supportative to rich people and people having authroitise.
Dear Sirs;
I strongly object to any rulings curtailing my ability to trade and buy leveraged and inverse funds, and dozens of other popular
investments deemed to be complex by regulators.
I am highly qualified to make my own investment choices and clearly understand the risks involved and I DO so in full knowledge of those complex structures. They ENHANCE AND PROTECT MY OVERALL INVESTMENT
I am an investor who trades with New York Stock Exchange shares. In order for markets to truly be free and fair, there needs to be a level playing field for all entities involved. This is agnostic of the risks involved. Deviating from that impacts trust as it can be interpreted that retail investors have different rules from other investor entities. I do not support this rule as it's
Madam/Sir: I have been investing and trading in securities for decades. The 2 and 3 times leveraged ETFs have been one of the most innovative and practical financial tools for my portfolio management. Leveraged ETFs are my main tool to hedge my portfolio volatility without liquidating my stocks and attempting to rebuy them later. No further regulation is necessary. There are countless ways to
I likely would fit all the criteria (VHNW, etc.) which I sort of sign off on for options trading at Fidelity yet I oppose this action. There are better ways to achieve investor protection without making them jump through hoops which in practice just turn out to be theatre.
I agree with extensive warning and labels to ward off uneducated investors. But regulator imposed tests, etc. are just
I have been informed that the above referenced regulatory notice is being considered.
I strongly object to the intent of this proposed regulation. I do not believe that FINRA should be able to restrict my ability to chose my investments or to make me go thru a bureaucratic process to establish my right to make those investments. I have been trading these investment vehicles for many years and
This proposition poses a severe threat towards market fairness. Retail investors are already at a disadvantage when it comes to available tools and information compared to institutions. Restrictions like this will only tip the balance even more.
Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the
I oppose the type of regulation being proposed to access leveraged investments. I note that investors such as me have to submit a self assessment of their capabilities before they can open a trading account with brokers.
I also note that no such restrictions or limits on leveraged instruments are placed on the so called institutional investors and companies. I demand a level playing field.
No one has a problem with investing in Amazon of Nvidia or Facebook at their high points only to watch them lose 25% of their value in a matter of weeks if not days. But yet you want to "protect me" from a leveraged or inverse fund. Best case scenario is you do nothing and let me be responsible for me. At worst is a one time information screen that I agree that I am trading in a
