Hello
Regarding the proposed changes, I am concerned about the blocks being put on individuals and small investors like myself.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and you and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged, investment banks, hedge funds and wall street.
I shouldn't have
Let me express my thought and feelings on the current issue: I, Takeshi Iida, 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. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged
As an individual investor who started with very little and has put countless hours into learning the markets to be successful, Im completely outraged at the the thought of another government regulatory entity over-stepping their bounds in an attempt to protect me from risk. The money I invest comes from my employment wages, so there is careful calculation and consideration put into each position
I have heard that FINRA is seeking to put restrictions on investors, particularly individual investors, from buying into inverse funds or leveraged funds. I am an individual investor and having been using leveraged and inverse funds for more than 10 years. I am quite capable of doing my own research and understanding the risks. In the current market environment using these types of funds is a
It is a "free market", and hence 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 the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I have sat for
FINRA - I understand that you feel a need to protect investors from some of the potential pitfalls of leveraged ETFs. I urge you to approach this topic with caution, however. Face it, risk is the foundation of investing and the entire field is fraught with potential pitfalls, interpretation, influence and missteps. There are no guarantees and, effectively, no real reliable sources of information
Dear FINRA Regulators, I AM OPPOSED TO RESTRICTIONS ON MY RIGHT TO INVEST in inverse investments as an individual. It is important that the public at large, and in particular, me and my family, be allowed to invest in inverse ETF's without restriction or further regulatory interference by imposing additional regulations. We, as investors, are in charge of knowing the risks and opportunities
I am writing to express significant concern with respect to regulations being considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) that may restrict my ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds and dozens of other popular investments deemed by FINRA to be complex. Leveraged and inverse funds are very important to my investment strategies. I regularly use them to protect (hedge) my
Srongly believe the proposed regulations are: Bad for Investors. If the proposal is adopted, some investors who could benefit from the enhanced return and portfolio protection potential of leveraged and inverse funds could be prevented from buying them by an overly burdensome qualification process. Brokerage firms could even stop offering these funds altogether due to the difficulty of
STOP THIS INSANITY! DO NOT PREVENT ME FROM TRADING EFTs! It's hard to believe that another agency is again wanting to control/restrict me, telling me how and what to trade. I am 64 years old, have been trading stocks since 1998 (24 years now). I am the only one that should be deciding on the risk of whatever stock or ETF that I (not FINRA) am going to invest in. I am abundantly capable of
