Why only block leveraged products? I say block the whole stock market for people with less than a million dollars in liquidity. Please create more and tougher hurdles for pleabian class people like us so it becomes even tougher for regular folks like us to climb the financial ladder.
That was sarcasm in case it wasn't obvious to you braindead politicians/regulators.
Now for something
To whom it may concern,
Leveraged and inverse ETF's are essential to my investment strategy. These products were vital to my portfolio when COVID decimated the markets in 2020 and similarly with the most recent market downturn due to inflation and Russian invasion of Ukraine. Leverage and inverse ETF's help hedge risk for individual investors. Individual investors are capable
I believe that investors should have the ability to invest in the securities of their choosing. While some are more complex and volatile than others, investors are consenting adults who are aware they must live with their consequences.
I believe that signing a document that acknowledges such extra risk is acceptable, as it makes investors aware of such volatility.
However applying safeguards
While leveraged and inverse funds have different levels of risk than non-leveraged finds, the public should have access to these publicly traded investments, not just high net worth individuals.

For leveraged funds, it is a critical part of my broad investment strategy, again knowing the full risks, up & down. All fund prospectus's provides clear picture of the
I am strongly opposed any additional regulations to leveraged and inverse securities. All investments have an element of risk; by requiring a list of pre-requisites to trading these securities, you decrease the investor base with access which could add to increased volatility as well as making the acquisition and disposition of said securities much more difficult. Additionally, further
The proposals put forward are a solution in search of a problem. Leave Retail Investors alone. Retail Investors do not want, nor do we need, your "protection". Government regulation already restricts the general public from certain investments with the accredited investor rules, we do not need additional prohibitions placed upon us. It is difficult for me to believe that there
To Whom It May Concern, I am greatly concerned about any additional cost further regulation and compliance will have on complex trading products, particularly leveraged ETFs. I am concerned about additional regulations which may increase the time it takes to get approval for trading complex products. I purchased leveraged ETFs on market indices, however there was five years of research in search
I'm writing to let you know that I vehemently oppose this regulatory proposal for the following reasons.
1. I use leveraged and inverse ETF's regularly in order to manage and reduce risk in my investment. These ETF's allow me to hedge against market risk, and therefore are a very important part of my portfolio.
2. These public investment securities should be available
