Dear decision makers, I would very much like to retain my ability to invest in funds with complex structures including those with leveraged and inverse models, such as LABU and LABD. These funds are important to my investment strategy and their manner of working is not as complicated as to put anyone at risk. Their mechanics are easy to understand and to explain to anyone. Kindly make it easy and
To Whom It May Concern: Once again it seems we are dealing with needless government overreach. Leveraged trading vehicles for experienced investors provide valuable tools in balancing portfolios, reaching portfolio design goals, and protecting against risk. My families financial future should not rely on yet another bureaucrat making decisions for me or my family.
I an very opposed to any regulatory limits on my current abilities to participate in complex ETFs and investments.
I have been involved with these investments for many years and am familiar with their risks and do not need any extra regulations to guide me. Placing these limits will significantly impact my retirement planning and financial future.
Please desist from imposing them.
Just regulation should protect those who cannot protect themselves from bad economics actors. This regulation proposes to protect people from themselves, which does not sound like a free country to me. The risks and rewards of leveraged and inverse funds are clear and obvious with some simple math. One does not need to be sophisticated. Leave the people alone.
To Whom it May Concern,
Do not remove or hamper my ability to utilize any means of investing that I deem to be to my best interest. Regulating individuals simply strengthens large investors at the expense of small investors. Leveraged funds can be used to hedge in times of financial uncertainty. There are already adequate disclaimers about the risks involved with leveraged funds available.
Dear Sirs: I understand that new regulations maybe passed affecting my ability to invest in certain securities and funds. I strongly feel this should be my decision and not yours as to whether I can make financial decisions for my portfolio. I am formerly a licensed Investment advisor that understands risks in the market. We are already heavily regulated, please no new regulations.
I'm concerned about having restrictions to my investment in leveraged or inverse funds as part of my investment strategies, they help enhance returns and I can use them as a hedge for investments. I don't feel that I should go through any special process to be able to choose which investment to choose . Every investment has it's own risks and benefits.
I manage my retirement financial assets based upon my financial needs and NOT FINANCIAL DESIRES. I am a retired CPA with plenty of experience in the assets I invest in. I understand risk, how it is measured and how to manage it. I do not need government permission to do what I know how to do. So please leave me alone, I can take care of myself.
Please keep your rules out of my investment strategy. I invest for myself and the well being of my family and leveraged funds are a significant part of my strategy. It is inappropriate to exclude the general public from investment vehicles that are available to the elite. It is also quite possible for anyone with more than an 8th grade education to understand risk and leverage.
Dear FINRA,
Once again, another example of an overreaching government agency trying to do whatever they can to stifle free markets. Hedging is something that has been done since markets began to mitigate risk. If FINRA really wanted to do something worthwhile, they could start looking into the derivative mess before we have another '08/09 mess.
