Greetings FINRA Principals,
This message is to implore your body to please NOT pass new, highly-restrictive rules/regulations on leveraged securities. I am a retail, middle-class trader/investor who uses these vehicles very judiciously - fully understanding the time decay factor and that they are not meant to be long-term holdings but instead, utilized for short-term swings only. These ETF
The rights of investors must be protected. It is the responsibility of the investor to educate himself as to what is a proper trading vehicle for the investor personally vis a vis financially. The brokerage firm in which I trade has transparency and risk disclosure for such short-term active trading. Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center is very good tool to guide the investor to
Dear Mr./Mrs.,
It would be a grave mistake to limit leveraged funds to only a select few. Such practice would simply push individuals to trade on margin in a more risky/less controlled manner. By only allowing leveraged funds for professional traders or wealthy individuals you take financial tools out of the hands of the common person. This will make it even more difficult to provide
I have a strong understanding of Leveraged and Inverse ETFs: Three keys to ongoing successful use: Short term trades only Position appropriately sized. Continuous monitoring of position. My contention is we do not need additional government regulation / guidance as it relates to these products. I do not have any financial interest other than being able to use these products as I consider
I have 10 years of experience as a Financial Advisor and 5 years as a CFP. I have the knowledge and experience to select my own investments and I dont want to be directed by a regulator who doesnt know me. Leverage and inverse funds are very important to me to hedge other investments from adverse market moves. Leave it up to the individual broker and the investment firm to help the client what
Many, many people buy and sell many forms of stocks. For both monthly income, and long term investments.
Further regulating how we can invest will add a financial strain to an already unstable economy. Not to mention raise the number of unemployed.
Government agencies should not have any authority over how we invest our money. Especially with a poor track record of properly managing anything.
Another invasion of Americans personal freedom. Leveraged and inverse funds are publicly traded and have been approved
for the public to trade. I understand the risks and have an understanding of these entities. There is no need to impose any kind of regulations or added requirements to any tools I use in my investment strategies.
How about the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority employees

Comments: FINRA is misplaced with this indicated intent on leveraged ETFs. All financial instruments and transactions have complexity. All people have brains and they can use them - to make their own choices, do their own research, and get help and advice where they deem it necessary. Transactions with these and any ETF are purely voluntary and disclaimers are clear and numerous. No new rules or
Dear Sirs, equity markets are critical to the world economies and financial system. Restricting or eliminating the use of any instrument potentially reduces liquidity in these markets. Sophisticated investors use a variety of instruments in their portfolios. I use leveraged index ETFs as a hedge. Restricting or eliminating leveraged index ETFs will significantly impact my investment strategy.
