WE SHOULD NEVER BE IMPOSED THE KIND OF RESTRICTIONS BEING PRESENTED WHEN IT IS OUR MONEY, OUR INVESTMENTS. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, AS WELL AS RESEARCH TOPICS SUCH AS THESE TO UNDERSTAND AND MAKE EDUCATED, QUALIFIED, INTELLIGENT DECISIONS. STOP PUTTING YOURSELVES IN AS THE 'EXPERTS' BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY ARE NOT.
I should have the right to determine my own financial future and invest in any lawful endeavor without government restrictions. The investment opportunities should be available to every person without any conditions. There should be no process or test administered by regulators to determine an individual's investing competence.
Do not restrict me from investing in triple-leveraged ETFs. I'm an older millennial who got involved in investing later in life because financial literacy wasn't being taught in schools. I need triple leveraged investment products to catch up with my investing goals on retirement.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. Investments should be fair to everyone not only the one who can pass test. Public investments should be available to all. If this got limited, public will be in disadvantage on getting to financial freedom with limited options.
I find that having access to leveraged and inverse etfs provides balanced hedging in my portfolio, allowing me to retain a mostly-cash position for long-term financial security while also participating in market movements. Please don't add hurdles to use of leveraged and inverse ETFs
I don't need or want any additional regulation from the government on investing. Your efforts to "protect me or other investors" from the financial industry is a waste of time and money. It only results in the erosion of return on my investments because the cost of regulatory compliance is so much.
I have the right to make MY OWN DECISIONS on ANY investment, including use of leveraged or inverse funds to help grow or protect investments.
We DONT need more regulations. Instead, we need better financial education and the schools at all grades fail to address this.
I need to be able to choose the investments that are right for my financial situation.
Some of my investments are hedges to help protect my positions from unexpected losses.
I do not need more regulations to "protect me" as I feel I do my own adequate research and due diligence.
I am a veteran who proudly served my country and to be told that I have to be accredited to participate in certain assets is un American. Retail investors should be able to have access to opportunities to help improve their financial well being. Level playing field. God bless America!!!!
