If retail investors are not allowed to buy leveraged ETF's, then the same should apply to institutional investors. The playing field is so distorted to favor wall street firms, bankers, and institutional investors, that it is a gamling casino not an Investment arena, and the problems caused by institutional investors have wreaked generational problems on the American economy, at the unfair
Leveraged and inverse funds are highly valued-liquid trading instruments that I find very useful for quickly getting long and or short the market and are frequently used for hedging purposes. These products provide a very effective means to manage capital at market risk and there are no other inexpensive-scalable alternatives available to retail investors. These leveraged products provide
After 40+ years of investing the assets my wife and I own, I think I know what investment products We want to own! I am a VIP investor at Fidelity and buy leveraged and inverse funds. We are aware of the risks, so please don't try "save us" I am reminded of of one of the most "Terrifying" statements any American can hear!! "We're from the Goverment, and We'
This new purposed Rule is very concerning and cause's more harm than good, It is not the job of Regulator's to decide what individuals can purchase.The autonomy of what an individual buys with their own money, that should be in there hands, only their Hands. allowing individual investors to utilize these tool, provides access to more affordable professional strategy's! THIS IS OVER
I strongly oppose this arbitrary regulation that arbitrarily singles out leveraged and inverse etfs to high net worth individuals. This is clearly a case where regulators are falling prey to political pressure to "protect" investors. These funds are incredibly useful in instances where trading futures is not available. In addition, the risks inherent to inverse and leveraged funds are
I not regulators 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 am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I don't need the government to baby-sit me. Furthermore, leveraged and inverse funds help me to hedge my investments and, with the
This proposed regulation seems GROSSLY UNNECESSARY. Individual investors should have access to a wide variety of investment options. They can assess the level of risk they are willing to take on any particular investment. What data do you have that shows any significant number of investors that have been harmed by simple access to these products? Fraud must be prosecuted when it is found to exist
I oppose restrictions on my rights to invest as I wish in public investments in regulated markets. I should be able to choose (without restriction) which investments are right for me, not just the privileged financial class. I shouldn't have to go through some special process or pass a test before having access to any public securities including, but not limited to: inverse funds, leveraged
I oppose FINRA's proposed rule #22-08. My ability to invest the finances of my family should not be left up to the discretion of government or regulators. The ability to invest in public securities should not be withheld from the general public not should we be required to pass a test to invest our own finances. We take a known, and sometimes unknown, risk when we invest our finances
I do not need the restrictions that would be imposed by Notice #22-08.
I am fully capable of understanding the risks in acquiring inverse and leveraged funds.
By limiting access to these funds you are favoring the privileged who have a high net worth, and excluding investors that don't meet some arbitrary net worth.
I am a smaller investor and have utilized inverse funds several times
