I have recently established a brokerage account which was made available by my company. I have applied a portion of my 401k income towards leveraged funds. I am well aware of the risks and consider myself to be an informed investor. I do not believe I should have requirements imposed such as tests. Nor do I believe I require a cooling off period as I have already invested effort and expense into
Government regulators must not impose arbitrary restrictions on private investors.
Many capital investments carry risk. Leveraged and inverse funds are central to my investment strategies, and I do not need -- nor will I appreciate -- interference with my basic right to purchase, hold, and trade them.
There is no legally-coherent or ethically-defensible rationale for adding additional
What gives the government the right to regulate a free market for what investing decisions are right for me and my family. A complete overreach of powers that will set growing distaste of government officials. Where is the regulation for insider trading at the political/congressional level? Why is that not a priority where they are privy to material, sensitive information. Where the small retail
<p>Transactions in certain medium term notes, purchased and re-sold to retail customers during the offering period, should not be reported to TRACE as set forth in Rule 6230(e)(1) because the transactions are part of a primary distribution.</p>
Hello, I wish to keep the ability to use leveraged and inverse ETFs in my trading. I use these to protect my account. For example, I use the 2x leveraged inverse treasury ETF (symbol TBT) to protect bond holdings in my portfolio as interest rates rise.

Perhaps the compromise should NOT be to move leveraged investing to non-public forms, but to
Greetings to the FINRA representatives reading this!
I strongly believe that limiting our ability as investors to trade leveraged or inverse ETFs is a huge mistake for you to make.
The beauty of the Free Market is that everyone can participate freely in it and can profit from their decisions. Leveraged ETFs help traders and investors across the nation achieve their desired results and objectives
I'm a long term leveraged ETF investor. I believe in the US economy and the leveraged ETF is the best way to gain a financial freedom. I, as an individual, should have the right to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. The leveraged ETFs provide a simple way to invest and it works for the people like me who doesn't want to learn the complicated option plays
I am writing to oppose increased restrictions on investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I believe that these publicly traded securities should be available to all participants and not just the privileged elite. Im perfectly capable of understanding the risks of investing in these funds and do so as a part of a diversified portfolio (ranging from defined benefit pension, target date funds, and
I am vehemently opposed to any changes regarding leveraged ETFs. We should be able to make our own decisions with our own money. I use small amounts of leverage within my own risk profile. I fully understand the risks, and I've both hedged against them, and will not be wiped out if my leveraged investments go to zero. Removing this ability would greatly harm informed users.
Leverage is
