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
We want to choose our investments the way we want - not you. We don't want to go through any special processes or test so we can invest in the type of investments we want - we are capabe of knowing what we or understand what we like when it comes to the type of leverage and inverse funds we want. They are important strategies of investments for us and we take them into consideration
There are many reasons this would be an abomination, but I will just go into one. Since the beginning of the NYSE, people have been fighting to democratize the market and make it accessible to all. It is in everyone's best interest that the market is accessible to all. This rule change would destroy all the work to make the financial markets accessible to all, regardless of status, race,
To Whom it may concern:
I not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for myself and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
It is very important to me that I be allowed to manage my money myself.
I have the right to share my views,
AND YOU the regulators are required to take my comments into
As a private investor, I am concerned that the proposed regulations in Notice #22-08 will unnecessarily limit the ability of private investors to effectively manage diverse portfolios.
Legal, publicly available investments should be available to all investors and not unnecessarily limited.
Investment product suppliers and managers should be required to provide extensive information to allow
I am a small, individual investor, an academic by profession. For the past twenty years I have had a portion of my retirement investments (about 10%) in a leveraged fund at Profunds. The market goes up and down, but this investment has been good to me. I strongly oppose restrictions to my right and ability to easily invest in such funds. I not regulators should be able to choose the public
Im extremely disappointed at the consideration of new regulations which would put regulators instead of individuals the right to choose investments that are right for us and our families. Why should public investment be made available only to privileged elites?
Many investors like myself utilize leveraged and inverse funds not only to enhance gains but also to manage risks in certain market
I strongly believe it is of the utmost importance that the general public be allowed to invest in these publicly available securities. They allow people with smaller amounts of capital to get the exposure they need to the market, and invest for they and their family's future financial well-being. Limiting these investments to professionals or only those with high capital would be class
I do not believe that it is a good idea for equaiity to reduce or limit access to leveraged funds to anyone. Leveraged funds can help the underprivelaged and by regulating them further they might not know that the vehicles exist. Requiring a certain amount of net worth or potentially expensive or time-consuming tests is just plain wrong. Regulation could also cause these funds to crash, making
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged or those whom regulators arbitrarily deem worthy. I shouldn't have to go through any wasteful and inefficient bureaucratic process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. The risks of leveraged and inverse
