I oppose the proposed restrictions on inverse and leveraged funds.
They are a part of the investment toolkit used in my portfolio.
These products are sufficiently documented in their prospectus.
As an individual investor I assume the risk of making my own decisions and am capable of making my own decisions.
Limiting these products to only high-net worth investors is inherently unfair and promotes
I'm writing in opposition to proposed rules that would limit the public investor from investing in inverse and leveraged funds. I find it insulting that you feel you know better than the investor how to best analyze risks and formulate investment strategy. I feel that I, as well as most retail investors are perfectly capable of making investment decisions including using such funds in
I, not any agents of the Federal government, am in the best position to make competent decisions about the public securities I want to buy and sell, as well as my personal risk tolerance. Applying a predetermined amount of my portfolio to an indexed ETF is an important part of diversification for me. I should be able to continue making similar choices without having to go beyond my own sound
To apply these additional burdens to investors is absurd.
Why only allow the wealthy elites of society access to leveraged products?
Is FINRA my nanny? Can I not decide what risk is appropriate for my own family? Does one need to be so highly enlightened to understand levered products?
Will you start saying that Growth stocks are too risky and limit my ability to invest in them too? If not, why
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. I've been using leveraged and close-ended funds for over a decade now, to successfully manage and reduce risk while enhancing returns and stability of passive income in my overall portfolio. I see these tools as an important part of my overall investment strategy and they signifiantly simplify the otherwise complex and expensive alternative of

I not you the regulators should be able to choose public investments that are right for me. Public investments are just that - PUBLIC INVESTMENTS!!!! THEY SHOULDN'T BE JUST FOR THE PRIVILEGED!
I shouldn't have to go throught andy special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. I don't need or want these measures imposed on me.
Message to regulators; As an investor, I am totally opposed to restricting my rights to invest or make public investments. Also, as an investor, no one decides more than me which public investmens are suitable for my financial goals. Public investmens must also available to the public and not only to the privileged. In addition, as an investor, I do not have to go through a special process, such
I oppose further regulations to public investing. It is my humble opinion that instead of trying to implement radical and unprecedented regulations to restrict public trading that you focus your time and energy on educating the general public. I believe the regulations proposed by Rule #22-08 will help continue the current trend of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. I have been
By threatening the existence of this type of ETF/ETN via limitations you will create more losers than the number of investors you could possibly help. That is not your purpose; find something actually causing a problem - both sides of any of these trades exist and there should be less limitations for this type of fund rather than forcing me to use my margin account and/or options to replicate the
It is unacceptable that "regulators" should even have the notion much less consideration of restricting investment products and vehicles that impede the choices and success of everyday investor's financial future and protection against market volatility.
Leveraged and inverse ETF's play a critical role in proper portfolio risk management which serves the
