I don't think it's the government's business telling me what investments I can or cannot make or placing impediments in my path to make it more difficult or impossible. As long as the investment issues are above-board, public vehicles, and not fraudulent, scams, or money-laundering fronts, FINRA should butt out. If they are worried that we are endangering our
I am a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) holder with more than ten years of investment experience. I'm capable to manage the investment risk in my own portfolio. I do not need the regulators to choose the investments that is right for me. I have my own investment strategies that matches my risk tolerance. Leveraged funds are important to my strategies. They help me hedge my
Im 58 years old. I have more than ten years of investing experience and have amassed more than three millions in stock assets, mainly by using leveraged ETFs to take advantage of severe market sell offs such as 2008 financial crisis and Covid-19 pandemic. I have found that the leveraged ETFs are extremely powerful investing tools for experienced and responsible long-term investors like myself who
This is to respectfully request that you DO NOT apply blanket and arbitrary rules that restricts investors access to publicly listed and traded securities. All investing incurs risk. Rules such as these could actually enhance liability as it implies other investments are "safe". Should investors assume "ZOOM" was a "safe, non-leveraged investment?
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to extend the expiration date of the temporary amendments set forth in SR-FINRA-2020-015 and SR-FINRA-2020-027 from April 30, 2021, to August 31, 2021.
FINRA Regulators,
I take the time to write to you today in order to protest against the proposed regulations outlined in Regulatory Notice #22-08.
It is not the government's place to tell me what investments I can and cannot make. As an investor, it is my responsibility to understand the products I am purchasing.
I see this as a clear and blatant attempt at limiting the "retail
As an experienced investor who has been making my own financial decisions for 20 years, I find it to be an overreach by FINRA to restrict the ability for me to make my own decisions, thus forcing me to utilize unnecessary investment advisor firms. There are countless resources available to the general public, as well as investment documentation available to investors to understand the risks
As a retail investor who does my own homework, I don’t need more regulation from a nongovernmental organization. Using inverse ETFs when I deem them appropriate has helped my retirement funds gain 9% YTD, whereas commonly traded ETFs like SPY, QQQ, and TLT are down 12-20% YTD. Perhaps you’d first like to explain to the Fed that inflation is not “transitory”? Or perhaps explain to them the
I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me; for myself. Regulators shouldnt dictate what I can to do with my own money. Additionally, Regulators have no right to judge my intelligence or tendency to seek professional counsel for my financial decisions. It's not a Regulators place to believe Im too stupid to understand, and to impose education upon me for following
I oppose the FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08. This regulation is an unprecedented attack on the workings of a free market system. It has no basis in reality, meaning it is not addressing any real issue.
