It should be a of the investor and not FINRA on which ETF funds I choose to invest in.
There should not be any additional onerous requirements for investing in leveraged and inverse funds, as each investor is capable of understanding how to invest with ETF funds.
Leverage and inverse funds help protect and enhance investing, consequently additional restrictions should not be placed on them.
Do not restrict the public from buying Leveraged ETF's. Leveraged ETF's are are no more risky than an individual stock, as most all stocks always have that possibility of going bankrupt. Penny stocks are more risky than leveraged ETF's, and penny stocks are available for public purchase. Do not restrict the public from buying Leveraged ETF's.
Leave things aloneI know about investing, and I dont wish for you to screw things up!
The United States of America is more and more navigating down the path of socialism. STOP! Let markets operate with MINIMAL government oversight and give people credit and responsibility for making their own financial decisions without being hand held or told what and what not to do by out of touch bureaucrats.
My money my decision
Hello, I wanted to make my voice heard re this issue.
I 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 and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse fund and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
Please stop restricting investors from gaining access to ETFs with complex strategies including leverage and shorting sectors, stocks, commodities, etc. Increasing regulation just empowers the wealthy and financial organizations to be the only ones that can benefit from more diverse financial strategies which are needed especially now. I have built my retirement because of access to a broad range of tools and am teaching my adult children to use them. DO NOT GO BACKWARDS BY ADDING REGULATION AND TREATING CITIZENS AS CHILDREN!!!
Leave American's investments ALONE!!!!!!
As an investor, I have used leveraged investments as part of my strategy for years. I already receive several warnings before trading my leveraged ETFs and I am fully aware of the risks and take full responsibility for the actions I take. Please do not put any further restrictions in place and allow the average investor the opportunity to invest in these types of securities.
