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
It does not make any sense to try and make it harder for the common man to invest in the very vehicles designed for them in the first place. An ETF was originally made by Morningstar to make it so anyone could invest without having to have extensive knowledge or even actually knowing about investing. And now you want to undermine this? This tactic is nefarious and you all should be ashamed. Maybe
I want to invest in what I want and make my own decision. Leveraged funds, inverse funds, etc. I don't need you to "protect" me be taking my options off the table. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test or anything else. I use these funds to hedge risks or double down on high-conviction shorter term trades. You will hurt me and
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.
I have the capability of making my own investment decisions. A lot of people have investment strategies using these products and know the risks and do not put their life savings them.

I am vehemently opposed to FINRA trying to impose restrictions on my ability to invest in public investments. As an experienced trader, this type of nanny state is absolutely unnecesary and completely and thoroughly at odds with our capitalist system. We all have the responsibilties and rights to learn about investments and to be able to invest unfettered in publicly traded products. Creating
I read the prospectus, and understand the vehicle. I do not need undue requirements put upon me in order to trade these particular securities. Instead, you, (FINRA, the SEC et al) should simply do your part by making sure these particular investment vehicles meet your applicable requirements (just as you would any other reporting entity), and let the investing public, myself included make our own
I as an investor of my own money that I earned should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and my family.
There should never be two standards for investments for those who have exorbitant wealth, and those who don't. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I have used TTT to make good ROI and now that is threatened because
I have learned that you are considering limiting investors ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds. I have had terrific successes with these types of funds and in fact the bulk of my trades are using this as part of my investment strategy.
Please reconsider, and leave these securities as-is so that we can buy and sell as we should be allowed to do in a free market economy. All the risks
Hello:
I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed rules for investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Its a violation of my rights as an investor and imposes unreasonable burden on my ability to trade in a timely manner. I consider myself well informed and do not need additional regulations to guide my investment choices. Leveraged and inverse products are an important part of my
