Dear Sir/Madam,
I understand that FINRA is considering implementation of restrictions/rules which might impede my ability to invest in leveraged and/or inverse funds. As a small investor, these financial instruments allow me to diversify and/or hedge my portfolio with a great deal of efficiency. Please do not place any further restrictions on the trading in these valuable trading tools!
I like to invest in leveraged funds. They add a great advantage to my investment objectives. I dont want regulators restricting my access to them as I understand the financial markets and I dont want to take tests to gain access to them. I have been using leveraged funds for ten years now and they have been an important part of my portfolio.
I invest in inverse and leveraged funds often. I am not a professional investor, just an average American. I do my homework, and make my own financial decisions. The US government does not hesitate to tax me on my success. Please dont restrict my ability to generate that success, by restricting my a access to these type of investment vehicles.
Hello. I beleive we can make our own decisions to our investments, this includes leveraged funds. I use them for leverage and hedging, both important elements for a good financial plan. Law markers should look at oher things like dishonesty amoungst the people that make the markets.
I dont think they should be allowed to partisipate in the makrkets.
Is this a problem these people are worried about? I have been investing many years without their help. I thought I lived in AMERICA not RUSSIA. Go help solve the many problems this country is facing. Stay out of my financial solutions. Thanks for this chance to voice my opinions. As a military vet I should be able to live in a country that I helped to protect. THANKS
It has come to my attention that FINRA regulators may be implementing restrictions on my ability to invest in public investments. I believe I am able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Please do not impose any undo restrictions on me. I will consult appropriate financial advisor if I determine that I need assistance with leveraged and inverse funds in my portfolio.
Its really not your right to block or restrict investors the right to choose what they invest in. If someone wants to leverage 3x 4x or 100x its their right and their risk. If they win big they win. If they lose it all its their own fault. Children need their hands held. Adults playing in the financial world need to take responsibility for their own actions.
Public investments should be available to all investors, not just the privileged. I am capable to understanding the risks and making decisions on what is best for my portfolio. All financial decisions have risk, including doing nothing. There is sufficient information presently available in a variety of channels to educate the public of the risks which makes this legislation unnecessary and
