I oppose restrictions to my right to buy leveraged and inverse funds
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
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 am capable of
Dear whom it may concern,
We the people are sick and tired of over zealous politicians that really only care about their own corrupt financial dealings attempting to limit ours "for our protection". We will ask for "protection" if that's what we wish our lawmakers to actually do. People shouldn't have political figures attempting to block them
I am writing to oppose restrictions to my right to invest in certain securities. These products can be very risky, and all investing has inherent risk, it depends on the person's financial situation and risk appetite. These restrictions are not representative of a free market, capitalism, or America itself. Keeping these complex products around allows investors to understand more pieces
I have been a holder of TBT as an inflation hedge against higher interest rates for a while now. The position has been profitable and is becoming even more profitable with recent rate hikes. I am a long term investor and want to be able to choose my investments that I feel are suitable for me, I do not want my choices dictated by someone else. My trade was unsolicited and made with the full
This is really not going to help individual retail investors. Lots of retail investors would be losing valuable hedging and speculating tools in terms of leveraged and inverse ETF's. Many of these investors may utilize cash accounts and have no other way to go short in the market without buying put options, which is another layer of approval. As such, ETF's are the most accessible and
This regulation would be used by financial advisors to essentially create a tax on individual investors who want to get exposure to certain financial products directly on their own. Perhaps there should be regulations that explicitly lay out risks of certain investments, but to force individuals to take a test or be licensed to directly buy certain investment products is entirely un American.
Dear FINRA,
I want to express my dismay at the possibility of regulations and restrictions on certain investments in leveraged and inverse funds. These vehicles are an important option, especially to an individual investor. There are very appropriate uses for these funds and it is up to each and every individual investor to determine when it is appropriate. I have used these funds effectively
As someone who regularly and frequently invests in publicly traded securities it is my view that the federal government and its agencies do not have the right to tell individual investors what we can and cannot invest our money in. How or when I invest my assets is my decision and should not be limited by anyone. Federal regulators cannot know or understand the individual investors risk tolerance
I'm a liberal but the Free Market, in spite of the fact that it's far from perfect, is one of the great things about America.
Don't mess it up with your regulations. It regulates itself for the most part. I'm not sure about High Speed Trading, but I know that with the modest amount of money I have, I'm learning through direct participation and trial
I am a retired lawyer with a high IQ. I have been trading leveraged and inverse funds for over ten years. Restrictions based upon net worth and approval of a broker are discriminatory to favor the rich. I have noticed the same thing about margin restrictions. The restrictions are there to favor the rich and powerful. I do not need nor want your oversite in my life. This is basically class
