I have managed my investments for over 60 years. I have studied and invested in broad market, leveraged and inverse ETFs for the past 15 years. I use them to manage risk.
The restrictions proposed would reduce the liquidity in these ETFs and render them dangerous to use. Any regulation of these securities should strive to improve openness and knowledge of the products, promote open and liquid
I am writing to object to the subject proposed regulations. I do not believe an investor should have to go through any special process such as passing a competency test before one can invest in public securities such as leveraged or inverse funds. As with any investment, one is PERSONALLY responsible for understanding the goals and objectives by which the fund operates and the inherent risks in
No one needs this to be regulated.. some people would prefer not to use inverse funds rather than options.
Your job is not to protect us from these vehicles. I use inverse etfs and have for the last 15 years. They are a productive tool.
It is a persons own responsibility to know your own risks and not necessary to have a big brother. If a person is willing to take the risk of investing they
Investors should have the freedom to make informed decisions about their investment choices. There are those who of us who desire to use reasonable leverage without the burden of adopting complex and costly options hedging strategies. Leveraged ETFs accordingly provide significant value to us as ordinary retail investors. It is hard to imagine anyone who does even a modicum of due diligence (even
I'm opposed to FINRAs proposed limits that may restrict access to L&I Funds or to disqualify individuals from trading L&I Funds or other complex products. Limiting access to investors should never be the answer. Education of the risks should be, which is what my financial institutions have provided. As an investor I understand that a leveraged ETF has increased
I am an adult who should not be treated as a child. I should have the sole right to decide what investments I take part in and not regulators. I have started trading from scratch and educated myself very easily from the resources available to from my broker. I fully understand the risks I am taking and should have the right to take them without regulator permission or requirements. The PDT rule
Hi,
I'm adding my comment in vehement opposition to the proposed new regulations limiting my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I oppose the proposed regulations because I want to exercise my own free will. I understand the risks and workings of both leveraged and inverse funds and do not want to have my ability to invest in these taken away from me, nor do I want to
I disagree with the proposal to restrict access to leveraged or inverse funds for several reasons:
1. It is not the government's responsibility to tell me what I am capable of investing in. It is my money, my risk.
2. It is my responsibility to determine if an investment is right for me, and to understand benefits and risks.
3. it is not the government's role to assess or
I want the right to invest in Bitcoin. Be it an ETF, Digecoin, or any type of digital currency. Public has allowed me to invest on my terms. I understand the risk involved with buying any stock be it cryptocurrency, blue chip, mutual fund, or bond. Putting restrictions on my account is another layer of beurucacy. If I had wanted to spend hours on paperwork and federal and state forms, I would
I can understand the goal of protecting novice investors from complex investment tools they lack the sophistication to understand; however, requiring vendors to supply documents to educate the investment community and requiring users to sign off on having reviewed those documents should be the limit of any requirements. Restricting access based upon net worth is absurd.
