Government over reach is a horrible thing. Are you stopping people from entering casinos next?
Diversified leveraged investing isnt right for all but for a percentage of your portfolio, it can actually enhance returns while lowering risk. Dont take away our freedom to invest in our country and the future of our children.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.
Dear Sir or Madame, I appreciate you hearing my comments regarding your desire to limit inverse and leveraged funds. First of all, we have a right to participate in the market in this area, since I'm aware that every large brokerage institution (bank) has the ability to short or go long the market. Why would you restrict the ability of the average investor to accomplish the same goals, and that is the protection of our assets. Many investors have been harmed by the buy and hold strategy, and have, in effect, had little or no return on their investments.
Hi. Leveraged ETFs are important to a sound investment strategy. Please stop trying to regulate stupidity. If a moron wants to get on Robinhood and lose everything since they dont understand investing, thats their problem. Dont punish the rest of us for their sins.
Regulators should limit their activities to preventing fraud and informing the public. Otherwise let people take responsibility for their own decision-making.
Hello. I firmly oppose this FINRA Regulatory Notice. I am the one who should have agency in my financial decisions and it is not up to regulators to only let a certain subset of the population have access. Considering the fact that wealth is a factor, this is showing preferencial treatment for the wealthy and is completely unacceptable. In addition, I should not need to prove to regulators that I already understand the risks of my investments. I have my own risk tolerance and that should not be dictated to me by a third party.
To whom it may concern:
I am writing to express great concern that the FINRA policies under consideration will limit my access to leveraged and inverse funds.
These products are an important part of my investment strategy. With leveraged funds I have flexibility to invest without taking on debt, manage risks against rising or falling markets, and make personal investment decisions on hedging or using long or short-terms strategies.
We have the right to make our own decisions. Freedom of choice.
I, not regulators, should be able to choose public investments that are right for me. Why is it that investors such as Bill Hwang have access to unlimited amounts of leveraged derivatives through banks? How exactly is that fair to individual investors? This proposal will deprive individual investors of access to tooling that fund managers such as Hwang have access to and used to make substantial returns for themselves and their limited partners.
