Please do not restrict my right or ability to invest. I select the funds I wish to invest in based on my own research, knowledge and risk tolerance. I enter the stock market with full knowledge that it involves risk and no investment is guaranteed to be profitable. With that knowledge, I proceed with the investments I believe are a best fit for the long term success of my family. Please do not
Dear Sir or Madam: One aspect that I love about the financial markets in this country is the FREEDOM we have to invest in a wide variety of investment options, such as leveraged funds. I am grateful that we live in a country that believes investors are intelligent enough to ascertain the risks and rewards of such investment vehicles. BUT WAIT! So regulators are considering limiting access to such
I have been using leveraged EFT's for many years and that is a major source of my yearly income. I'm well aware of the risks and I'm willing to take those risks. I've educated myself over the years in most aspects of the stock markets and use options extensively. Most financial advisors know little about using these investment techniques and are afraid to
I as an investor, not regulators should be able to choose public investment which are right for myself & family.
We should not have to go thru any special process or passing a test to use these tools. I am extremely capable in understanding the risks of these inverse and leveraged funds.
These leverage and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. I use them to protect
I was unaware until recently that you [REDACTED] might be hatching another scheme to interfere with my ability to hedge risk and/or speculate in the financial markets. Even to the regulatory mind it should be obvious that investors either find these products useful or they avoid them, a principle that applies to all the ETFs and ETNs in the marketplace. Your franchise doesn't empower you to
Hey, I get it. In today's litigious society everyone wants to blame someone else for their own poor decisions. That's just part of where the world is going. I own my own mistakes and because of that I feel that I should be able to make my own decisions. I own small amounts of a few levered funds because it's fun. It adds a little excitement to an otherwise very conservative
Leveraged funds are important for young small time investors like myself to be able to have access to similar financial vehicles that large investors and institutions are able to use. I use the LETF's to be able to construct a balanced 60/40 portfolio that provides a higher risk-adjusted return than a stand alone index fund would be able to. Imo, there are many stocks that bare much
I think that I should be able to make my own investment decisions without further regulations from Big Brother. The sponsors of leveraged and inverse funds are required to make numerous disclosures regarding risks of the funds as well as how they operate. It is the responsibility of an investor to read and understand these disclosures. If he doesn't do that he can choose not to invest
I would strongly oppose adding hurdles to invest in inverse/leveraged ETFs because I think it would prevent people like myself from expressing their investment views freely. While I am a qualified investor, well versed in how to assess risk, and a CFA charter holder, I would recommend many inverse/leveraged funds to friends and family who are not as trained as me but can still understand the
My feeling is that leveraged and inverse securities are very risky but the disclosures of risks are currently adequate. My broker requires a permission to trade them and only gives permission after risk disclosures are made. At some point, individual responsibility should be the focus. When used properly,,leveraged and inverse securities are very useful investment strategies and I would not favor
