I want the ability to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I do not want to be limited or restricted from buying leveraged and inverse funds. I am a well informed investor, and it is not right to restrict my investment options and allow others to have full access.
This type of should not be removed from access to the genral public. There should always be information available to understand what the risks are with all investments. Those are in place with the current laws. Please do not constrain our investment options with laws that oppress our individual investment decisions.
Inverse funds are used as a means to hedge investments. There is ample information and training online regarding short ETFs and therefore testing investors is an unnecessary administrative and financial burden. Regulations should not be put imposed on individuals who should have the freedom to manage their own risk.
Comments: Please do no limit access to leveraged funds. I use them extensively, and they are excellent trading products. For those that are not familiar with them, there are excellent precautions in place by brokerages, including the requirement to read and sign information about the risks, as well as a risk statement with every trade.
I believe people should be informed as to what type of risk they are taking but they are responsible for understanding what investment they are making and thus what magnitude of risk they are taking. Please don't restrict my ability to invest or my rights to invest in leveraged or inverse funds.
Thank you.
It's important for these markets to be driven by real people. As lay investors, we have a right to form our own informed opinion of risk and benefit when investing; we don't need regulators to stop us just because they think a product is too risky.
I should be able to choose my publicly offered investments or pay an advisor to do so on my behalf without a bunch of unnecessary regulations and requirements. Im sure if the usual basic information regarding investment pros/cons and risks would suffice in making financial decisions.
I support transparency and disclosure of information regarding various investments. However, I believe in an investor's right to choose and do not want to see restrictions on my ability to use leveraged and inverse funds. They can have legitimate uses in, for example, hedging against certain market events.
