I hope it is not true FINRA is going to restrict trading in leveraged and inverse ETFs. I have used this vehicles for financial planning for 15 years. They just one of many invaluable tools to be used in certain situations. There are risks in EVERY investment. Leveraged funds get a bad rap, but if you study the math, it is really unjustified. Yes, they have higher fees, which can be an
The NASD, through its wholly owned subsidiary, NASD Regulation, Inc., has filed with the SEC a proposed rule change to amend Membership and Registration Rule 1022(b) (Limited Principal - Financial and Operations ("FINOP")), Membership and Registration Rule 1022(c) (Limited Principal - Introducing Broker/Dealer Financial and Operations ("Introducing FINOP")), and Procedural
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to make technical and other non-substantive changes within FINRA rules.
Government is reaching its grubby little fingers and over opinionated views into every area of the publics life! If you know anything from history its in your best interest to serve the reasonable desires of the people than to go against them, you will destroy my dreams of being financially independent by passing restrictions on cryptocurrency that keep the little guy like me out in the cold!!
I definitely do not want FINRA to make any changes to Proposed Rule #22-08. Public traded funds need to remain public. This almost reminds me that I may not be ELITE enough to participate in what has always been available to the public. The thought of being tested to see if I know enough about these funds is ludicrous. I don't believe that FINRA should be awarded this kind of control over
I would like to state that I oppose any restrictions to my right to invest in what is right for my family. These are very complex times that have not been encountered in decades of economic and financial history. Leveraged and inverse funds are part of the tools available to investors to manage risk and create investment strategies, such as hedging a portfolio. Also, one should not have to go
Individual investors should be free to make their own investment choices in well regulated markets. Taking away or making it more difficult to invest in leveraged and inverse financial products could drive investors away from regulated markets and subject them to increased fraud. The risks associated with these products is already well documented in the prospectus. These types of investment
I fully understand these types of investments and am very disappointed in this proposal. We should be free to invest as we see fit. It is my money, not the governments. I do not need to jump through arbitrary hoops. I am respectfully asking you not to take MY freedom from me - You are not responsible for my decisions on what where or when I invest. You should focus on rooting out securities fraud
I oppose the proposed restrictions on my right to invest in inverse and leveraged funds. I am not a professional investor, but as one who has managed most of my own investments for 20 years, I realize that there is inherent risk in financial investing (as in all of life). Investing in leveraged and inverse funds is an integral part of my investment strategy and I do it recognizing that there
I am bumping up against this issue on IBKR. When I invest, I like to be able to choose what I do - regardless of risk. I don't mind if the Brokerage wants to supply me with information, but I do not wish to be controlled. My financials are not controlled in other areas of my life and I can easily lose large amounts of money in many different ways. I am an adult; inform me, keeping
