Greetings,
I run a systematic quarterly rebalancing plan that is powered by leveraged ETFs. I know what I am doing, understand the risks (and benefits), and as such, the proper use of these leveraged products is a key part of my financial plan.
These funds are important to my plan; they improve my performance over the long haul. I am not engaged in reckless trading. I understand the effect of
I am disagreeing with the concern and motion put forward to regulate ETF products with leverage and inverse properties. As an investor, I am capable of making an informed decision in regards to the risk I am willing to take on with my investments and therefore do not agree with the proposal to restrict these financial products to those with FINRA authorization or special knowledge. If there is an
I am opposed to new rules regarding leveraged and inverse ETFs. I am a seasoned investor and conduct my own research. You should not be babysitting myself or my portfolio. There is plenty of information available already for the public to read and decide for themselves. You are stepping over the line in making this judgement that individuals need monitoring.

Dear Finra,
I am absolutely opposed to regulation on leveraged ETFs. I have been using them for years and they are part of my long term strategy for growth in my Roth IRA. I know the risk I am taking and I have a long time horizon for these investments. I have studied the markets for 20 years and learned about economics and even technical analysis of the price charts on my own through all
In the unlikely event of a system-wide failure, FINRA will use the following resources to alert members.
Investors should be free to select which investments they feel are reflective of their risk level. It is asinine that the talk of banning leveraged ETFs is circulating when 18 year olds can place 100% of their money into a meme stock and then still access margin to double down on their stupidity, which is objectively more risky than a properly balanced, risk adjusted, leveled ETF portfolio. We
I and other members of the investing public are perfectly capable of reading and deciding what to read regarding our investment choices. There is no need for regulators to discriminate against and take opportunities away from lower net worth individuals in an effort to ensure that we read information we are fully capable of accessing.
Leveraged and inverse funds are critical to my personal
I have been a holder of TBT as an inflation hedge against higher interest rates for a while now. The position has been profitable and is becoming even more profitable with recent rate hikes. I am a long term investor and want to be able to choose my investments that I feel are suitable for me, I do not want my choices dictated by someone else. My trade was unsolicited and made with the full
While leveraged and inverse funds have different levels of risk than non-leveraged finds, the public should have access to these publicly traded investments, not just high net worth individuals. Inverse funds are an important means of hedging without selling a security or ETF short, which is (relatively) lower risk for an investor and an important part of my personal investment strategy.
I am capable of understanding leveraged funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. However, some better disclosure from the providers could be helpful to the public. Disclosures could include:
1) Predetermined plans for reverse and forward splits: "We will reverse split this fund if the value falls under $x.yz for a period of _________ days."
2) Better
