I am writing to oppose any further regulation on leveraged and inverse investment products. Individual investors like myself have access to prospectus documents, we can read how the product operates, and we know that all investments in the stock and bond markets come with risks. Who is clamoring for this regulation, besides regulators? You might prevent 1% of investors from making a mistake, but
I find it offensive that a regulatory agency wants to curtail the private financial investment choices of adult citizens, under the guise of "protecting" us.
Free markets work best when they are truly FREE. I am perfectly capable of reading the prospectus and understanding the risks of my investment decisions. If a person does not understand those risks, then the prudent move
Please please please FINRA, please do not restrict me and my family from investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I am now making very nice profits due to these particular stocks / funds. I understand the risk involved and feel I should not have to go through passing a test or any other special process in order to invest in these public securities. They provide me the security with hedging my
Dear FINRA,
Public leveraged securities should be made available to the public at large without any special testing, endorsements or requirements. While I can appreciate that you are looking out for the novice investor, these ETFs (just like *any* ETF) are managed by managers who are FAR MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE MARKET than I am! Thats why they earn a management fee. I love the S&P and
As to the warning I received from ProShares concerning a radical and unprecedented threat by regulators that could affect my right to buy dozens of popular public investments, including leveraged and inverse funds, it is my opinion that these products have, in fact, helped to level the playing field for the individual investor, and therefore, provide the balance, at this moment in time, required
NO regulator should choose the public investment that are right for me. There should not be any special process to go through to trade leverage and inverse funds if i want to trade them. Leverage and inverse funds are a big part of my trading. I some time use it as a hedge fund. I understand all risk and trade responsable. I don't need a regulator to tell me how to trade them. Since i
This looks like just another step towards total control of free enterprise and free thought in our country. I've been a serious and prudent investor in financial instruments for over 30 years. I understand and fully accept the risks involved with conservative, risky, and off-label investments (including leveraged and inverse securities). Since the markets (including Stocks and so-
I want to have freedom to choose my investments, there is disclosure of risk already before any "risky" asset can be purchased.
I do NOT support further requirements to trade these securities, I should be the one making decisions about risk I am willing to take.
Leveraged and inverse funds play significant role in my trading strategy and investment strategy and can not be
Dear Sirs: I understand you are considering regulations to restrict the vast majority of investors from investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Quite simply, stop this effort right now. I don't need someone in Washington to "protect" me from these types of Investments. I research all my investments and I'm well aware of the risks entailed in these types of
I find it VERY intrusive and limiting to deny individuals with small capital the opportunity to invest in leveraged funds. These funds are professionally managed, providing defined risks to the investor, and should be viewed no differently than a mutual fund with risk and reward based upon a fixed investment strategy that actually limits risk to the investor while providing access to securities
