I understand that you are considering legislation that will further restrict investors from investing in a broad range of public securities designated as complex products. We already receive prospectuses which spell out risks. What is your reasoning for adding more restrictions? As a small investor I want the right to invest in any publicly traded stock or ETF of my choosing. We do not need more
I use inverse funds to hedge my investments. I am fully aware of the risks involved with leverage and I understand how inverse funds work. Additional restrictions will only limit my ability to protect my investments. I have already used options in the past to leverage and to protect positions. But options are time limited and expire. I have found that leveraged and inverse funds are actually
Dear FINRA,
I should have the right to invest in any public investment I want with no restrictions, including leveraged ETFs, as should every other American. Excluding all but high net worth individuals from investing in leveraged ETFs, or putting in place restrictions/requirements to invest in leveraged ETFs is not fair to the average middle class American. I do not need regulations to protect
Sir/Ma'am,
It has come to my attention that restrictions are being considered that would impose restrictions on the types of investors that can invest in leveraged and inverse funds.
I find the fact that this is even being considered to be deeply hypocritical considering the fact that many individual stocks (nevermind cryptocurrency) have similar or even more aggressive risk profiles
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged funds.
These leveraged funds are very instrumental in my investment strategy. I use leveraged funds for a small percentage of my total portfolio, buying more shares when prices are low and buying fewer shares when prices rise.
This is a volume averaging strategy involving a double leveraged mid cap etf and a triple leveraged nasdaq fund
I find the possible regulation of my ability to access the entirety of the public securities markets without restriction alarming. I am capable of making sound investment decisions for myself and my family. I am also educated and capable of understanding the risk and ins and outs of investing in inverse and leveraged ETF funds. I do not support these regulations. They are discriminatory and are
Please stop shutting down our capitalist system. Do not take away the citizen's right to invest in any fund we wish. I myself am well aware of the risk found in "leveraged and inverse funds" which is why I use it as a hedge against a market downturn, and I only use a small fraction of my portfolio for my inverse funds. I do not need to take a test or exam to prove I know what I am
Dear Regulators:
I strongly oppose the proposed regulation that would limit or eliminate access to leveraged and inverse investment instruments.
These tools are a critical piece to actively managing a portfolio, and provide unique alternatives to individual stocks, passive ETF's and mutual funds.
Given the many events in the last several years that have dramatically affected the
I think we, as investors, should be able to choose the public investments. That is the right for myself and my family. Public investments should be made available to all the public, not just the selected classes (people with high net worth etc.). We understand the risks associated with leveraged and inverse funds. They are important to my investment strategies, which took me over 10 years to
I oppose restrictions to investing in leveraged ETF's for individual investors. WE all get the information regarding risks to investing in these funds and as such should be permitted to buy, sell and hold these as we see fit based on our personal financial goals and needs. It is not democratically fair to restrict these funds to large investment firms, which would force individual
