I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public,not just the privileged few. They are already holding the majority of the wealth in this country. My investment is for my future home and retirement. If this country refuses to let people choose their investments what is the point of being a US citizen? This is
I enjoy the right to purchase leveraged investment instruments as part of protecting my portfolio against market downturns. There a few other instruments that will work during downturns except cash.
The most fundamental ideology if the US Citizen experience is having the ability to have your own rags to riches story. It involves making your own way, picking yourself up by your bootstraps and a certain kind of grit. Really honestly what makes this any different than say a caste system? Modern day serfdom? Indentured servitude? I implore you to think long and hard about this. And I dont mean
Dear FINRA Members,
I have an IRA with a hedge fund that allows me to invest in down markets and up markets. So far, I have been able to keep my IRA balance at the same balance I had when I first opened it 5 years ago, despite the minimum annual distribution I am forced to take. Please do not change anything, survive on SS and my IRA.
Thank you for your consideration.
Just because I am not a high-net-worth individual does not mean I am incapable of understanding leverage ETFs and their risks. Please do not restrict my ability to invest. Leveraged and inverse funds are a part of my overall investment strategy and I want to continue to have the freedom to use these investment products when I feel they are appropriate.
Comments:
I am just writing to say that I do not support any changes or restrictions on leveraged ETF's. I believe that it is very clear in how these ETF's work and it is made VERY clear that they provide daily returns on whatever they are tracking and are NOT meant to be held long term. They function just fine and I do not believe they need anymore oversight or regulation.
Being able to invest in anything is part of why the US is so great.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS ON SELF-DIRECTED RETAIL INVESTORS TRADING IN OPTIONS AND OTHER COMPLEX PRODUCTS!
The advent of low cost self-directed trading in options and so called complex ETPs has greatly democratized investing by giving average people the opportunity to employ investment strategies previously available only to the wealthy.
I dont want the government restricting what I can trade or
Hi FINRA,
Regarding Regulatory Notice #22-08: Please let individual investors choose what amount of risk they are willing to take for themselves and their families. Leveraged and inverse funds may become more specialized to the ultra-rich investor if more hurdles are put in place for those who wish to invest their money in such vehicles.
Please allow the people to govern their own investments
I oppose the proposed rule as I believe it is over reaching and unnecessary. Leveraged and inverse funds are not that complex. Betting at the horse races and on sports teams would be a better target for regulation. And inverse and leveraged funds offer an important option for investors when conditions warrant the risk. I would hate to see complex rules and restrictions placed on this investment
