I am opposed to the banning of inverse funds. It is the major way I have as a small investor to "bet against" certain moves in the market (like today's market) and avoid the greater risk of investing in futures which would require putting more money at risk
FINRA has revised the following examination programs:
Please don't regulate these investments and prevent me from using them. They allow me access and ability to hedge more easily. Without these I would subject to market fluctuations and more at risk. This will likely increase my risk and not reduce it.
Blocking individual investors from using inverse or leveraged instruments actually increases risk and prevents hedging - why should Goldman Sachs be able to hedge but not Jill Mainstreet? Hedging actually decreases risk. Individual investors are not children.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
If you must, require me to agree to a statement saying I understand the risks just like I would to enter into an Options contract.
I should be able to choose the public investment on my own risk and I should not be restricted on proshare investment. I have been studied and invested in proshare. I have knowledge on my risk managment, and leveraged investment can help me progress my portfolio.
Trading inverse funds or leveraged funds has pros and cons and is a staple in a traders portfolio to hedge correctly in times of high volatility. These are high risk funds which carry plenty of risk to traders already. There is no reason to ban the trading for non regulators.
Member Supervision, Market Regulation and Transparency Services and Enforcement. These three teams together make up Regulatory Operations or Reg Ops, which is at the very core of FINRA's efforts to protect investors and ensure fair and efficient markets for all. On this episode, we hear from the heads of all three groups about how they are working together to increase coordination and to ensure integrated oversight, to be able to better anticipate and address risks.
Inverse funds are important to my investment strategy.
Since I dont short individual stocks, this allows me a convenient way of doing so with less risk.
I am capable of understanding the concepts and the risks involved.
Please keep this option available to me.
Dear Funra, I am an adult and I understand the risk of investing in leveraged products. Institutions invest in these products, and access to these products should not be exclude individuals. I am a successful investor and understand the risks. Please do not change my access to these leveraged funds. Thanks
