Subject: Investors ability to trade "complex products" - including leveraged and inverse funds (L&I Funds).
Dear Regulators,
I am Kamala Chandrasekaran, 58 years old and I like to voice my opinion regarding your proposal on limiting access to Leveraged and Inverse ETFs (complex products).
Educated Investor: I like to inform you that I am an educated investor in the
I want to be able to choose public investments that I deem appropriate for my long term financial objectives. I believe this is my privilege which should not be restricted in any way against my will.
I have been a long term investor of leveraged index ETF, not a trader or hedger or market timer, since the inception of leveraged index ETFs. Leveraged ETFs are important to my investment strategy. A
I am contacting you to express my opposition to the proposals in Regulatory Notice 22-08. I see no justification for FINRA to restrict public access to any publicly traded financial products, including leveraged EFTs. These securities provide an efficient and economic vehicle for small investors to hedge portfolio risk, a strategy that has now become critical in the aftermath of more than a
Short positions should have to be reported immediately upon hitting the threshold list. Which as you know means FTD's are running rampant, they should be forced to cover in entirety to discourage institutions from dragging out their mistakes if they've had enough days consistently to reach the list. This would have saved them billions to date. Also Prime brokers should be required to
Dear FINRA, First of all, I am the owner of my own money. The regulators have no right AT ALL to make me go through certain process to make my own investment decisions. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I put part of my investment fund in TQQQ and UPRO on a regular basis as a long-term bet for the positive outlook of US economy. People would argue that TQQQ or
Please STOP attempts to introduce regulation FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08.
I consider it an insult to us the public, to propose this regulation under the pretense of "protection" like we are children, when in reality this is another subvert attempt to manipulate the market and make it even more exclusive.
I live in reservation territory, and it is hard enough for us to
To FINRA,
The United States has always thrived as a free economy, and if many of these complex products are made unavailable to the lower net worth or individuals not formally educated, it will only hurt the little man. How is a person who cant even make it past the $25,000 limit on day trading supposed to effectively hedge without using leveraged products or options? It is my personal opinion
I see restricting access to the different types of investment products as overbearing and manipulative of market forces.
The use of inverse and leverage funds are an important market access for all people in the country, for a variety of purposes. They should not be a core part of a portfolio, but do serve a place in building a well-balanced financial plan.
For example, if I am looking to
Ah yes, quite a brilliant regulatory notice. Only us ~~~~sophisticated~~~~~~~~ investors are worthy enough to trade such complex financial instruments. The peasantry are wholly incapable of understanding the Bitz-Coins on our academic level. The only issue with this proposal is that it does not go far enough to """""protect"""
To Whom It May Concern:
Your recent notice, FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08, seems very problematic for everyday investors. Leveraged and/or Inverse funds serve very important functions for retail public investors. Most of the time, they provide the only way for a retail investor to cost effectively hedge a position or a certain exposure. For example, earlier this year my wife and I were waiting
