How many people have been hurt trading SCO? What problem are you fixing? People assume risk every day in the market. If you think the risk is too high, then restrict access. Else, let folks buy and sell the asset.
Let me make my own decisions. Personally I'm not risking large sums. I should not have to through any extra steps to be able to take on additional risks. Put an extra warning label on it maybe? But otherwise, don't stand in my way.
This is an outrage. This is the cheapest form of leverage available to the little guy and you want to take it away from us. Leveraged investing is supported by Modern Portfolio Theory for those of us with higher risk tolerances. We understand the risks. Dont punish us for the irresponsible actions of a few.
It is not anybody's responsibility to choose public investments except the investor. It is enough to provide a general warning that all investments involve risk. Many, if not all, trading platforms already require investors to acknowledge that there is additional risk involved with leveraged and inverse funds. No additional regulation is required or wanted.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I am capable of understanding the leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and I know how to manage the risk.
Leveraged ETFs are among the safest and least complex ways for a small personal investor to hedge and/or take on more risk; other options, such as investing in particular individual stocks to micromanage the risk in your positions is much more error prone for the average small investor in comparison.
Restricting trading strategies is fundamentally unfair. There is no legitimate reason to restrict leveraged or inverse funds. Investors always must assume the risks of their investment choices. Unsophisticated investors may not understand systemic risks, but it does not mean investors should be entirely prohibited from investing altogether.
I should be able to invest my money how I see fit without proving to the government that I know what I am doing. I know the risks mean that I can lose my money and I am willing to let that happen based on the rewards I might receive for taking those risks.
