Pro shares are the only way to amplify gains for young investors who dont have options permissions. Without them young investors like myself will have to switch to a platform like Robinhood to amplify gains while not being told Im too young to invest in leveraged stocks or options.
I use several brokerage providers. TD Ameritrade, M1 finance, and Robinhood all already provide bold warnings and specific information to guide/educate investors regarding Triple Leveraged or Inverse ETFs.
Brokerages have already/currently provide the critical information for retail investors to make effective trading decisions with these investment vehicles.
I strongly opposed limiting retail
I support transparency in short reporting process and accountability. In cases such as the Robinhood stopping trade on AMC have created a distrust for the market and weaken the economy for all. Making data available in a single place will help restore some of the trust lost into the institution and improve confidence in our economy as whole.
How about proactively tracking and eliminating naked shorting practices? Naked shorting is illegal but it's certainly not stopping hedge funds from doing it. The benefits of bankrupting a company are obvious and known. Give us a level playing field and be the Robinhood we need. We had enough with the oppression!
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?
The type of products able to be traded by retail shouldn’t be limited. Disclosures on inverse and leveraged funds are ok, but restrictions on trading will make markets less fair as hedge funds and banks would still be able to trade the products.
The same goes for options. I went out and spent the time and effort to understand various complex options strategies. I should not be punished for the
I find the fact that regulators have decided to not only limit my (and most peoples) access to the funds that we wish to invest our savings in, but the fact that regulators believe that THEY can limit when and how we do trade, much like the Robinhood fiasco. I oppose this useless regulation when time and government effort could be better spent regulating the markets, brokers, and the corporations
I oppose this unnecessary regulation. This is just a way to stop people from being their own money managers and to unduly force people to use shady financial advisors. Apps like Coinbase, Robinhood, Acorns are amazing because they allow the little guy to enter the market who maybe doesnt have enough to open a brokerage account with a big bank or pay a financial advisors fees and doing this would
What you are proposing is completely unethical and will only exacerbate the already growing wealth gap in America. A leveraged S&P 500 fund is an excellent vehicle growing wealth. Even people with just a few bucks in their Robinhood account can invest in it. You should drop your support for this bill for the same reason you wouldn't support the government doing this for
I believe FINRA's proposed limits try to address a problem that does not exist. Retail investors should have the freedom to decide what to do with their money and Direxion does a great job with several resources in their website to inform us about the risks of leverage investments.
I understand well what the risks are of investing in leveraged ETFs and they have made me a better investor
