Dear Finra,
I strongly encourage you to continue allowing retail and retirement investors like myself to continue investing in levered and complex products. These products are great investment tools for people like myself who choose to perform careful and thoughtful research while understanding the risks that come with them. It would be government overreach to restrict individuals from making
The regulations you are suggesting imply that only an elite class of investors are capable of making informed choices about their personal investments. I take offense to that as I believe that I am sufficiently intelligent to make my own risk assessments and investment decisions. And if Im not, I have no one to blame but myself. Investors dont need FINRA limiting our investment options under
Consider additional warnings on trading platforms so investors better understand the risks, but please DO NOT restrict trading in ProShares for retail investors. My husband and I invest carefully and have done quite well with ProShares funds in the past. Other investors' ignorance or carelessness should not be a reason to keep us and others like us from investing as we wish in the
I would like to voice my strong opinion that everyone should be allowed to choose stocks, bonds or riskier investments. I think the reason for this is partly due to many people in online discussions about stocks could eventually affect the real so called pro hedge funds that the banks fully support. Its my money to risk to lose, or profit from. Thank you, Bill Faust.
As an investor I should have every right to invest in any equity or security of my choosing, free of any restrictions. Requiring additional paperwork to prove a certain net worth or financial competency is discriminatory and imposes undue burdens on my personal liberties as a member of the free market. It is my risk alone to invest in products such as leveraged exchange-traded funds, and thus
Leverage ETFs and Inverse investments have been a component of my investment strategy for years. Regulatory scrutiny should be focused on accurate reporting rather than limiting certain types of investments. Security valuations have always been driven by reasoned expectations of future cash flows. Let the investor take the risks he or she chooses including market hedging devises as mentioned
Why are regulatory busybodies thinking that I am 3 years old and need to be "protected" from myself?
I'm a grown man and can make my own decisions. I strongly resent any attempt to deprive me of this right.
My trading plan uses leveraged ETFs as a part of reducing the volatility and risk of my entire portfolio.
I insist that no changes be made to rules/regulations
I use inverse funds to hedge gains in other investments. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and know the risks involved. My portfolio is up 8% already this year, whereas the S&P is down ~14% since the beginning of 2022.
I oppose any restrictions or limitations on my right to invest in publicly available investments. I don't need to pass any test to be able to invest
I am writing due to possible restrictions on buying inverse funds. I feel it is everyone's right to invest in any public funds and they should not be limited to a few. Any investing has a certain amount of risk and there should not be certain funds that require additional training or a set amount of personal assets. I use inverse funds as part of my portfolio to hedge against the
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. For many years, I have been studying about complex investments in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds, and feel confident of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I have been successfully using them to seek enhanced returns and building wealth. I don't need regulators to put restrictions on my right to
