This is ridiculous, there are already disclosures and warnings most, if not all, brokerages make available to customers prior to accepting leveraged trades. Quit wasting tax payer dollars on this type of garbage. If anything, have investors take a free online education course on leveraged funds. Your [REDACTED] proposal discriminates against the poor and has no consideration for their financial
Ive worked in an administrative position for many years and am well versed in the market. I currently invest in some leveraged etf funds. Like all stocks and bonds, there is always a risk. It is up to the individual to do their homework. It would be highly unfair to subject regular investors to having to take a test or to jump through hoops to buy some of these products. Obviously global
I oppose limits and restrictions in my trading of leveraged and inverse securities. I am well aware of the risks associated with such products. Although they make up a small portion of my overall portfolio, I appreciate the diversity of products offered and the ability to hedge securities. I strongly oppose any further restrictions which may included testing, income or net worth limits, so called
Limiting public investment avenues is both discriminatory and oppressive. American citizens and their families should have direct access to investment protocols by their own decision without discriminatory blocks to access. We do know the value and risk involved with investments such as BITO and other exchange traded commodities, cryptocurrencies and funds and the value that they have in a
To Regulators, I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds because I have more than 40 years of stock and options trading experience in USA. I am capable of understanding those funds and their risks more than any finance professionals. It is totally against the spirit of law under democratic
To whom it may concern, I strongly oppose any potential restrictions on my ability to purchase leveraged instruments. This would be another way for the large institutions to use investment vehicles for their advantage at the expense of the smaller investor like me and put us on unequal playing ground. I do not use them as a large part of my portfolio, but use them for hedging or taking advantage
I am against any more restrictions to my ability to trade leveraged securities. I have been fully informed of the risks involved by my broker Fidelity in these products and had to sign and submit a document stating so to Fidelity. I am fully capable of making informed decisions on my own without any further government or regulatory restrictions such as passing a written test or proving my net
My name is Ivan Zubkiv. I'm very dissappointed that the regulators are trying to eliminate my rights to chose hove I should invest and what investment I have to choose. I want to be free and have a rights to chose my self to trade what I want and in what to invest. I want to be treated as the same as every reach person or company, have the same rights and be able avoid annessesary measures
With the availability of information over the internet it is no longer reasonable to think that investors are not educated in all aspects of funds trading. Last year a group of talented amateurs was able to commit a short squeeze against major bank holdings that were too sure of their own intelligence. This clearly follows that basis to protect vested corrupt interest to the detriment of the
The only change that should be made if any is that one should be ablento take a test or quick quiz that proves knowledge of these products and then also sign an acknowledgement and the same should be done for the PDT rule. One is kidding themselves if they think changes here will protect anyone as that would imply that the regulatory body has the right to save people from themselves. They don
