This is very unfair. Why? I oppose it!!
As a long-term holder of leveraged and inverse investment positions, I would vehemently oppose the removal of these investment vehicles.
These investments broaden my set of choices and exposure without requiring as much capital or the need for options trading.
The removal of options from a publicly traded market place deprives it of diversity. Diversity allows investors to better invest their hard-earned money.
I as an investor am well informed of the risk associated with a leveraged fund but am also aware of the benefits of these as they allow me to have insurance against market swings without having to allot a large portion of my portfolio.
They have a place for a personal investor like me so I do not have to invest a larger portion of my portfolio in riskier option trading or short selling for some protection.
I should be allowed the same tools as any market investor regardless of size.
The people we'll not have our freedom of oppose restrict ions on our rights to invest. We will not have this right taken away, we stand together on this platform
In America, the Constitution proclaims the c we have inalienable rights, the v right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. More and more regulation limit these freedoms. We work hard for our money and the key word there is "our," Stop the control and strangulation of the American dream which men and women have fought and died for over the past 2 centuries.
'Give me liberty or give me death" resounded with many then and with many today. Please leave us alone and let us live. Let a free capitalist market exist and put an end to crony capitalism.
I believe and stock on an American exchange should be available to buy in any legal account. To do otherwise us unamerican!
Please do not try to protect me from my own investment decisions. I need protection from your insane governance.
I strongly recommend that you do Not interfere with my right to choose which investments are right for me and my family. Public investments should be just that... Public!
I shouldn't have to go through any special test or procedure in order to choose my investments.
As always, I remain an informed and consistent voter,
Dear FINRA representatives.
I am fairly new to investing, but had been using inverse and leveraged ETFs to hedge my long positions, with a certain level of success. I do not wish that ability to be taken away from me. Please don't restrict access to these investment vehicles to regular folks like myself. If the market is supposed to be fair, they should not only be available to "high net worth individuals".
I oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. I do not agree that any special process like passing a test to be able to invest in public securities and inverse leveraged funds. Making investors try and prove their ability to protect my investments puts a restriction on my ability to secure my entire portfolio of investments. I am NOT ALIGNED with this notice as it creates more divide in a free marketplace for ALL. I oppose this rule under consideration.
