Im a retail investor. About 10 years ago I bought an inverse ETF fund after hearing it recommended on a PBS stock market program. It never was in the black - it only lost value. Its now down more then 90%. I can understand how these investment vehicles can be effective for sophisticated investors and industry professionals but sales to the general public should be restricted. They are too
Please do not take away my ability to purchase leverage and inverse funds. I have many of these and have invested in them for many years. They have helped me protect my retirement investments. If you can allow all of these young kids to invest in Meme stocks via Robinhood, then why in the world would you restrict us old folks from investing in whatever we want?
I use leveraged ETFs everyday and am well aware of the risks involved. Pulling retail access from them cripples the idea of a free market. Removing them does not make the market any less risky for retail investors, there are plenty of retail investors who have lost it all on worthless meme stocks such as $GME. This proposal makes no sense once its thought out and reduces 0 risk.
Leveraged ETF/ETN's are used as a short term balanced risk management strategy that should be available to all investors.
Primary uses are (1) offset a short term market index/asset class overbought/oversold condition without risking individual equity positions, (2) Reduce risk of owning an individual stock that could be subject to excessive price fluctuations, and (3) Balance a
Gentlemen, I have a masters degree in Engineering. I have lost many thousands of dollars in these transactions. I have also lost more in traditional stock and real estate investments as well as made some earnings. My suggestion is that you can not protect me from myself and this applies to others. I understand the good intentions. However please consider going lightly with qualifications and
I want all people to be protected from inverse products as I have found they have spikes that are impossible to recognize coming so the catch is no time to respond properly and a lot of money has gotten lost to others who somehow know to pull out at a peak thereby pumping and dumping all stock and crashing the market of inverse funds in gold or oil. I do not like donating money that way [REDACTED
Please do not restrict or remove weighted ETF's. I use this weighted ETF (LABU) when market sentiment has become extremely negative. It is a good hedge to recover losses in my core holdings. I feel it is better than a stock option because there is no time limit and there is diversification in the ETF. All I need is patience with the weighted etf. Please do not take this tool away
I have a college degree in Business Administration. I have been very successful in investing in stocks, leveraged and inverse ETF's. About 85% of my investments are in leveraged and inverse ETF's. It's my money and the government should not tell me where to spend or invest it. Before the Government tells me how to manage my finances you should reduce/eliminate the
While I agree that some of these funds should be limited to qualified investors, restricting all of these will limit my ability as a middle-class investor to grow my wealth through the stock market. Either lower the bar for qualification to participate in these funds so the growing group of new retail investor can reap the rewards of these funds OR do not restrict them in the first place - it
Ive been leveraged and inverse funds such as TQQQ and SQQQ for many years. I am aware the risk associated with these funds. They are volatile but manageable. Some individual stocks are even more volatile than these funds.
I believe majority of individual investors know the risk they are taking when making investment decisions including investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I personally dont
