I am opposed to the restrictions FINRA is proposing on the ability of retail investors to buy leveraged and inverse ETFs. For one, this is an impugnment on basic freedom that the US is supposed to stand for. I am more than capable of reading the basic documentation for these funds and understanding the risks I choose to take. They are also critically important to my investing strategy and
Dear FINRA,
Having been an investor for over 50 years, I feel that your proposed new regulations are going to essentially restrict
access to important tools necessary to successfully INVEST in the financial markets. The institutions and BIG BOYS will not be affected but the individual investor will certainly be hampered by these restrictions. Instead of levelling the playing field, these will
I believe that restricting access to these investments what hurt far more people than just allowing the risk to be there. I believe the majority of investors understand that funds that offer higher returns come with higher risk. It is already made clear in the prospectuses of every fund. Please let us make our own decisions. Many of us have been in these funds for years and they are an important
Hey you [REDACTED] - its my money that is hard earned and I have paid all taxes on it, now you better stop telling me what [REDACTED] I can or cannot do with it. [REDACTED] You [REDACTED] need to stay [REDACTED] out of my private financial business. I own tons of ETFs and they are all showing losses so Im holding on to them - if you want to change anything, make sure that you [REDACTED]
I wanted to further add that I do not agree with restrictions being placed that would limit access of public investments to the broad public and give access only to a select group of investors deemed worthy. Personally, I use such products not only as a way to enhance returns that could help secure my financial future, but also as a hedge (risk mitigating measure) to help protect my investments.
I have the capability of making my own investment decisions. A lot of people have investment strategies using these products and know the risks and do not put their life savings them.
I actually have a Series 7 license and understand the risks. There are others that do not have a license but are traders that make a living of trading. I do not feel the government needs to regulate. There is
As a long time investor in stocks, bonds and other maybe "complex" investments, I strongly disapprove and oppose FINRA's proposed and potential denial of my freedom to choose what investments I deem appropriate for my financial needs. I and my family do not want your capricious and arbitrary definitions, criteria or tests inflicted on us before we can freely invest as
I have been very successful investing and trading with complex instruments and I have no formal investment training. Imposing restrictions on my ability to invest in these vehicles and making them only available to a select group of investors will harm me and many others that invest. The addition of pre-investment testing, certifications, training, or cooling-off periods are a deeply unnecessary
Free Citizens 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, in an open and democratic free enterprise Society.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies, especially in light of the prolonged and profound repression applied by the Banking powers
It is time for big government to get their nose out of my business, the public's business and the states business. This has gone too far now, government is too big and wasteful. We, the people have had enough interference from the most incompetent people (congress) when it comes to finances. It is government who needs to be controlled financially, and not the people. Our debt is so high we
