I am an individual investor with 20 years experience, I do not want my investing choices limited by the regulations. I use inverse and leveraged funds OFTEN to meet my investment goals and objectives. I understand the risk and proceed accordingly. Please do NOT take this valuable strategy away from me.
I believe I should be able to choose investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to everyone. I shouldn't have to go through special processes to invest in public securities. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and I consider the risks each time I elect to add these funds to my individual portfolio.
I oppose the proposed rule. The leveraged and inverse funds are a very important part of my personal portfolio, which provide a means for me to hedge against other long term holdings and control overall portfolio risks. My personal investments will be negatively affected if restrictions are imposed on those instruments.
As an adult, I am fully capable and should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
As an American I should have the opportunity to take risks on my own accord to succeed, that is the American Dream after all.
Now more than ever people are expected to manage their own finances and financial planning. Taking away any free market options is ludicrous. Anyone can research leveraged and inverse funds and choose whether or not to take the risk of investing in them. Do not impose restrictions on the free market.
I oppose restrictions on my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I'm an adult with an ability to think and understand both potential risks and rewards. A person's understanding is not correlated with his net worth. Continue to allow me the benefit to make money with a variety of financial instruments in a variety of market dynamics.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST 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. I'm capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
Thanks for taking comments; we already have enough disclosure on on leveraged + inverse products. WE like our choices. [I do agree with Warren Buffet; crypto currency = ''rat poison''] I have gotten for years, a warning thru my broker on the ''..unique risks......'' for these .I already understand them..............................................
To whom it may concern:
I believe it is not up to FINRA to decide how to invest my money. I am fully responsible for my actions which includes understanding leverage and inverse funds and the risks that are involved. To regulate that does not hold up to our American definition of Capitalism. Thanks for your consideration.
I am retired and rely on my investments to provide income. I swing trade the market when it reaches extremes of bullishness or pessimism. By using leveraged and inverse ETF's I make money without risking my entire portfolio.. These products are not complex for someone who has no financial training but follows the market.
