Dear FINRA
Do not take away our ability to invest/trade leveraged and inverse ETFs. I understand the risk and I use it for hedging. Also remember, long term returns of DIA:TNA, SPY:UPRO, QQQ:TQQQ are approximately 1:3 as expected.
At least do not take away the rights to trade these. Broad Index based leveraged and inverse ETFs in due course are not risky. Please look at the data.
I ( not the regulators)should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me& my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public , not just the privileged.
I am capable of understanding leveraged & inverse funds & their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
Leveraged funds are important to
Adding additional regulation in advisors and ETFs seems misguided and misplaced. Regulators should be focused on what is creating the real wealth destruction for individual investors which is options trading done by novice investors. By regulating ETFs in this manner it is placing a barrier to using an effective hedging tool that has been in existence long enough for advisors and BDs to know
Please do not further restrict investors ability to buy leveraged ETFs. I already had to sign forms making it clear that I understand the unusual risks of investing in these investments (e.g., TQQQ. TECL, TNA). Anyone buying into these products knows what they are getting themselves into. Please DO NOT try to protect us from ourselves! Thank you for your consideration. -Richard Voss
I oppose establishment of restrictions upon individuals to make investments as described in the proposed rule, #S7-24-15. While I support providing individuals with opinions and recommendations, restrictions intrude on decisions best made by individuals who weigh risk vs reward of investments made with their money.
Specific to crypto, individuals need no more restrictions than alternate
I have a finance degree and have been investing since college. I invest in stocks, mutual funds, options, and leveraged and inverse funds. I'm quite aware of the risks involved from my 25 years of investing experience. Putting restrictions and forcing investors like myself to take tests doesn't help me. What I choose to invest in should be my choice, not the government.
As a small time investor leveraged ETFs present one of the safest and most reliable ways for portfolio to have exposure that is leveraged higher than the market value. The risks associated with these assets are made clear and are readily presented before investing. I strongly believe that the money I earn is mine to invest in what I see fit and that regulators have no right or business to
I am against imposing regulations on my ability to invest in inverse and leveraged funds. I have invested in such funds and realize the risk involved and understand the basics of how they work. Imposing regulations on these funds sets a very very dangerous precedent. What will you regulate next? I don't need some government bureaucracy trying to protect me from myself. That is NOT the role
Please do not regulate LETFs anymore than they already are. Retail investors should have access to them. We can understand risks and evaluate them just as well as institutional investors and determine our own allocations towards LETFs, if we do see fit.
Please do not add unnecessary regulations. Please keep the market fair and open to everyone.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I am well educated on how and where to invest. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and rewards. I am planning investment accordingly. Such funds are important to my investment strategies, this should
