Rather eliminating the option to purchase and trade these securities why not require the fund creators to use a pre determined rate of proceeds to produce content and learning material that can present the risks to investors in an easy to understand way. The average retail investor is already extremely limited to the types of investments they can make and this will only exacerbate this problem
All Stocks, ETF's, Funds or other investments are all subject to investment risk regardless of there class or structure. The choice is mine when making investment choices and must not be subject to Regulator involvement. The rules now on investment trading are already restrictive to a large degree.
Where were the Regulators when my pension was frozen during Company bankruptcy. Please
I oppose these restrictions on leveraged and inverse funds. I should be able to choose public investments that are appropriate for my investing style. I should not have to go through a special process such as passing a test to be able to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I am very capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. These types of funds are very important to
This proposed rule is an infringement on investors' freedom to invest in whatever they want to. Investors (not regulators) should be able to choose investments that meet our needs. The FINRA better not move forward with this regulation as investors are not in favor of this. No investor should have to go through special classes or processes to invest. Investors have the ability to
I don't think it is fair to regulate inverse and leveraged funds, since I rely on these as an important strategy. Especially inverse funds gives a "common" investor the ability to profit if the market goes down.
I understand the risks, and I accept gains and losses, just as I do with purchasing stocks and bonds.
In a free market, it is important to allow the market (of
As a 50 year investor worth almost 2 million in assets, I use inverse and leveraged ETFs on zero to 15% of my investments based on market conditions. I use inverse sprangling in ultra Bear markets . I currently am in inverses for the 1st time in 14 years because the markets are so negative. And I know all about the risks . The examples of mistracking by FNRA is rare and over blown
This proposed regulation stands against the very notion of what it is to be American. Investing is an activity that has always been performed at one's own risk - nannying investors with onerous regulations, that at this point are unclear and establishing gateways to access these products that includes high net worth is classist and discriminatory. Everyone should have equal access to all
All public investments should be available to all citizens. The trouble is the descriptions.
A public investment should have TWO publicly available descriptors of the investment. One is the "traditional" huge info dump which admittedly presents comprehension issues to novices. So, add a SECOND discription, dumbed down to the important numbers (risk probabilities, etc.) for the
Please be advised that I own BITO and I also buy and sell the options on BITO. These investments are part of my overall trading and investing stratagy.
Each investor is capable to determine if they understand the risks. Placing restrictions on the purchase will cause significant losees because as less people are permitted to invest in these assets, the price will be more volitile and the bid/ask
I am writing to state that I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. 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 understanding leveraged and
