I oppose the regulation that requires extra testing before I can invest my own money. It is my money. I understand fully when I signed up to be my own trader. I take full responsibility. I do not appreciate the extra steps you are forcing me to do before I can invest in my future. Are there risks? Of course! However, that is for me to decide.
To whom it may concern I respectfully disagree with any legislation that restricts either the access or the outright ability for me to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I do my research and I understand the risks. I understand how to invest in these as part of a larger strategy. Please do not remove the rights of people like myself who independently do the work and choose to invest in these
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. It is very important that I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. I am capable of understanding investments and their risks. As such, I should be allowed to invest in any securities as it is my right to free choice as a citizen of this
I have traded these leveraged and inverse funds for many years. They should be available to all not select few. The test is just another unnecessary bureaucratic hurdle for people who can read and understand the risk. These funds are useful in short term trading as an overnight or 2-3 day vehicle that can be used with less leverage than a futures contract. Your consideration appreciated.
Leveraged products are key to the risk management of any retail investor. These new regulations and especially the high net worth requirement will only enlarge the inequality between the rich and the rest of us, who already have way less instruments and hedging opportunities to resort to. You should protect the retail investors rather than making their investing a living hell.
We as Americans has the right in invest in stocks and bonds of our choice, not regulators. Why should we have to pass a test to invest, we can do our own research and decide if it is worth the risk to invest our money. Many of us have been in the market for decades, it is not up to you what bonds or businesses we support.
I do not think this is fair for low networth investor who may not have opportunity to earn high return vs high networth investors. It is discrimination because public investment should be available to everyone without restriction or requirement to obtain any special training. You can give notice of high risk speculation but cannot regulate public investments.
I oppose any legislation restricting my right to invest in any public investments. I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I am perfectly capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I shouldn't have to go through any special process before
I am advised that I am now incapable of making my own investment decisions re leveraged or inverse investments This is quite surprising as I have been doing this for decades, with much satisfaction and no regrets I am quite content working with my own risk parameters and object to others telling me what I may or may not do, and oppose such efforts and oversight
Investors should be able to buy instruments of their choosing. The restrictions on trading in the expert markets have already ruined pricing and liquidity on many equities at the expense of small investors. Please don't continue harming investors through restrictions. Leveraged funds have many useful purposes including limiting risk through hedging and avoiding use of margin loans.
