Each person is accountable to themselves. Investment choices shouldn't be limited. If I fail to do my due diligence on ANY investment I choose to fund and that investment goes against me, then shame on me. Don't handcuff us and don't treat us like children! You can't make up new rules and regs to help prevent against every flavor of stupid that exists in the
Hello, I disagree with the rules this document is proposing. These products are cleared labeled as leverage products and the retail investor is aware of the risks and strategies involved. These are outlined in the prospectus and online which are sent to every trader. This would be a barrier to entry and unnecessary burden for retail investors who already are required to acknowledge the risks when
1.) Limiting investment opportunities to those with high net worth is inherently un-American and is borderline predatory on those who would be excluded from making these investment plays.
2.) Leveraged and inverse funds are crucial to my short and long term investment strategies. Information and notices are provided with these, and should continue to be. Expanding information requirements is a
Hello:
I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed rules for investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Its a violation of my rights as an investor and imposes unreasonable burden on my ability to trade in a timely manner. I consider myself well informed and do not need additional regulations to guide my investment choices. Leveraged and inverse products are an important part of my
I strongly oppose any and all regulation on my choices of investments. Our current net worth includes hard assets, our home/car/etc., IRAs, Savings deposits, bank accounts, and credit union accounts. The total values are just over 1 million dollars. I know this is small compared to the 1% that rule the country, but it started with employer matched funding IRA decades ago. We built it slowly and
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!
Individual freedom is important. Seat belt rules should be kept to the absolute bare minimum possible (if at all).
Making it harder to invest in these classes of investments just exacerbates the problems we have with the disparity between ordinary people and professional investors.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important strategies, do not prevent
Regulators,
Regarding FINRA Proposed Rule #22-08, I - not regulators 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 or those you deem qualified. Less regulation, happier investors.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I
If the market is in fact a free market then this rule proposal would never have been proposed. A free market isn't just for the rich who can afford it. The choice to participate in the market is an individual choice that each person must make for themselves, that should not include taking a test before investing in public securities. Furthermore this will create further speculation that
I prefer making my own investment decisions versus regulators who can manage their own assets BUT need to learn to leave my decisions up to me. Unless they are actively trading their own assets and clients' retail assets, I find their wanting to rule on these matters self-serving, ignorant to peoples' rights to educate, learn and wisely choose and highly unreliable to ethical
