Individual investors oppose the SEC Proposed Rule:
--It is a form of control by the regulators to impose its judgement on investors about investment vehicles that play a key role in risk mitigation.
--It is way to impose barriers to market efficiency.
--There is no reason for further intrusion by the government into capital and investing markets.
--It is unconstitutional.
--Retail investors are
Comments: Please continue to allow me access to these products such as inverse EFT's. The companies providing them have given adequate information, and I further can look up information if needed. I understand they have additional risk, however I would like to take that risk for myself and should have to right to do so. Having these products to chose from helps me to balance my portfolio to
I have been a successful investor for about 40 years and have been invested in leveraged index funds for about the past 30. My portfolio value from the 2008 recession to the end of 2021 nearly quintupled. I fully understand the risk of leveraged fund investing and I offset that risk through diversification, i.e., spreading my investments among a variety of in major index and sector index funds.
Markets are made up by 2 sides and investors should have the freedom to choose to stand on either side of an investment, whether it's on forecast of high demand or low demand. That's the definition of a free market.
In terms of leverage I support that brokerage be very clear in its warning about the high risk potential of such investment tools, but once investor opts in it
Do not restrict my personal right to choose which investments I place my capital in. My rights to Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness carry with it the freedom to choose as I see fit and accept the responsibility of the consequences of those choices. Restricting certain investments to the wealthy and connected elite of our country will only exacerbate the income gap. I use these leveraged funds
I believe that restricting access to these investments what hurt far more people than just allowing the risk to be there. I believe the majority of investors understand that funds that offer higher returns come with higher risk. It is already made clear in the prospectuses of every fund. Please let us make our own decisions. Many of us have been in these funds for years and they are an important
Another attempt for those in control to control the masses. No limitation should ever exist as this is often the only way to hedge market risk. I have a 401k that offers NO brokerage access and I contend leaves more market risk without the ability to play various sides with funds like these. They can protect coming market disasters that could be hard to mitigate otherwise; and allow easy
I oppose government restriction on freely made choices to invest any fund or investment type a person wants provided the information regarding the risks of those investment vehicles are publicly available and/or provided at the time of purchase. I understand this might result in less sophisticated investors losing money but this is the risk one takes when one chooses to invest. I dont believe the
This proposed regulating will hinder my ability to position myself with the insurance/ hedge to my positions that I currently enjoy AND CHOOSE for my own money and investing methods. This method of investing is my chosen method. These types of funds allow a form of protection to my account by markets moving. I shouldn't have to go through some special process, get permission,etc. I
Leverage etfs do not represent any more risk than the basic inherent nature of stock market. How does a market pricing of NFLX at 600 and going down to $180 in a short order ( or price of AMC going up and down without rhyme and reason) present less risk than a leverage ETF. The whole premise of SEC is wrong. Stock market is a manipulated market and a by product of so many countervailing forces.
