I should be able to choose what investments I want. I shouldn't have to take test to buy or sell my crypto. I don't feel that the govt should tell me how to make sure I'm financially independent.
I have been an investor for a number of decades and would like the freedom to choose inverse and/or leveraged funds if that fits into my financial roadmap. I would really like to have that flexibility without any limitations.
Thanks!
Taking away financial tools including leveraged funds only hurts retail investors like myself. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn, understand, and invest in these securities based on their own strategy and investment goals.
As an independent investor, I find this potential regulation to be insulting and diminishing. Americans have a right to invest in securities and other financial products as they deem fit. Please do not take this harmful action against our freedoms.
These financial insteuments are vitally important for an informed and sophisticated investor to use for the retail investor. Perhaps vetting new investors is a better option. For any investor with years of experience, these leveraged instruments are vital and must be kept.
In 2008, I lost my job,my house and my partner. I still have not recovered. If you recall, complex investments were at the heart of the 2008 financial crisis. Support our regulators and keep investments simple and transparent!!
As an investor, I would like to be able to choose the best investments for my personal situation. I have access to a financial planner and I am well informed of the risks in trading leveraged securities.
I am against any further regulation.
Im a financial professional who understands the risks involved. People with no background in investments should go through a course to understand these risks with an inverse and leveraged fund. People with securities licenses have taken enough tests.
If you want Americans to successfully achieve the American Dream through successful means financially and pulling themselves off of their bootstraps do not interfere people should have free will and the right to invest accordingly to their own wishes
This seems like it could easily lead to a situation where the only people who can open a self-directed account to trade in options or complex products are rich, white, financial professionals. The rich get richer.
