Why on earth would a "regulatory agency" restrict the financial movements of the citizens they allegedly claim to protect? Better said, why do we have these regulatory agencies in the first place? You are restricting the movement of American people to prosper and invest as we see best. WE are responsible for our spending, our investing, and our losses. Keep your sticky fingers
To whom it may concern,
I am alarmed at the new regs that I understand you are considering re: leveraged and inverse funds.
I use them for a hedge not a ridiculous amount of leverage.
I appreciate you looking out for me but I've been licensed several times, I majored in finance in college, and I've taught financial info for over 30 years.
Please, reconsider this action. If you
The right to freely invest our money is no different than any other fundamental freedom in this country (although many are constantly under attack). Consumers have both the right and responsibility to educate themselves about the risks & rewards associated with any investment, make the personal choice, and accept responsibility for it. Financial regulations always have the perverse effect
Dear Sir/Madam, As an investor, I want to 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. If I cannot trade those funds (e.g. TQQQ, SQQQ, etc) as needed, I probably have to take on a lot of loss and make huge changes to my investment strategies which also impact significantly on my
I 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 should not be forced to go through a specific test to be able to trade any securities I want. As an individual I am capable of making my own decisions. Cryptocurrency strategy is important for my long term financial planning
I use leverage funds to provide upside exposure without taking on the added risk of buying on margin. When I buy a leveraged ETF I can only lose the amount I've invested in that ETF. I do not open myself up to the risk of a margin call. I should be able to assess my own risk and make my own investment decisions. I have been investing for 3 decades and been through many market cycles most
I should have the right to determine what, if any, investments are right for me. I do not want "big brother" treating me like a child and regulating what currencies, if any, that I choose. Everything in life is risky. We "little people" have the right to take on risks just as much as you elitists do. It's simply not fair for you rich people to run our
I object strongly to the proposed regulations that would restrict my ability to invest in inverse funds. I am fully aware of the risks associated with such funds, and invest in them to reduce the risks associated with "long" stock and bond funds. My investment in an inverse fund is only a small fraction of my net worth, but my ability to invest at the time of my choosing -- and
I 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 shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. That is why we have certified financial consultants/brokers. I am capable of understanding my investments
As an individual investor who has invested in complex instruments for years, I am opposed to these regulatory controls. They are over-reach by the government on the assumption that people are stupid and should be ruled rather than have the freedoms. The barrier to these instruments will not only create obstacle for investment, it will dramatically increase the cost to access these instruments as
