I have frequently used Leveraged and Inverse funds in my investment portfolio. Please do not restrict their availability.
This rule can lead to exploitation by high volume buyers and market makers. This will disproportionately affect retail investors
Please do not restrict public access to leveraged and short investment products. This will harm small investors.
I believe inverse and leveraged funds already carry appropriate warnings from both the market makers and brokers of these funds. The information is already out there with adequate risk analysis information.
It is not a good idea on those restrictions, we should have the rights to have more trading options, or take higher risks.
Ive been investing for almost a decade. I understand the risk of using leveraged and inverse ETFs. I am making the choice to trade them with the understanding that I can lose a lot of capital but I should be allowed to make my own decision. Cigarettes and alcohol are far riskier than trading stocks, but theyre still bought and sold.
I do not agree with these regulations. They are designed to protect big corporate interests while punishing the little guy. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investing strats and I should not have to go through any special processes to invest my money how I see fit. Free speech should not be stifled!
As an American under a government that really doesn't care about their constituents (both Dems and Repubs) and a plummeting stock market, we should be able to protect whatever little we have.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
