Me- not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.Public investments should be available to all public not just the priviledged. I shouldnt have to go through any special process like passing a test to invest in public securities. I am capable of making inverse and leveraged funds and their risk.
We understand the risks of 3x / 2x leveraged instruments and the cost involved in it. This is relatively safer and smaller than the actual Options and Futures which are time bound and involved in margin. If at all these instruments are restricted - it can be restricted from margin but with CASH trades - this must be open for every investor/trader to try to catch up on their retirements/savings
Freedom of making legal decisions is one of the core foundational principles of American democracy. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Small individual investors are perfectly capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks, regulators you don't need to impose restrictions on us. Thank you for your consideration!
I oppose any effort to restrict my ability to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. There are already too many regulations restricting the ability of individual investors to fully participate in our economy. The opportunity for financial success should not be limited to the wealthy. FINRA should protect us all from fraud but NOT from reasonable risks.
As an investor we understand risks associated with investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Please do not restrict investors(esp retail) and make investing in stock market tougher. This regulations if brought in will impact investors/traders who are already in trading and they might incur huge loss in terms of capital depreciation by scaring away exiting and new investments.
All equity investments have risk. Leveraged investments are no different. It has more volatility than others that doesn't make it any more or less riskier than other equity investments over the long term.
Hence I recommend it should not be subject to further stringent regulation than other equity investment vehicles
This is outrageous. Individuals should be allowed the same instruments as the privileged few. I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and m family.I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risk. I do not need to pass a "test" to invest in these instruments. I am currently using a inverse fund and it is helping to protect (hedge
I strongly oppose the regulation on the trading of leveraged funds. It is an essential part of my investment strategy to manage risk and make profit even during market downturn.
Regulator should allow all investors to utilize all available necessary tools to protect their investments instead of only allowing the privileged few to use them.
As investors, we are perfectly aware of the risks we take when we invest in leveraged funds. We are grown people, and do not require a nanny to lock us out of high-risk investments. This regulation not only stops everyday people from becoming fully capable investors, it is condescending to believe this is for our own good.
I do not believe FINRA should remove our access to leverage ETF products. Brokers and companies like Direxion and Proshares provide an ample amount of warnings, disclosures, and educational material to advise the level of risk undertaken. It is and should be our right to maintain our decision to use these products within our investment strategies.
