While politicians get rich off the market and their insider trading this is not the time to restrict us American citizens from being able to work with leveraged and inverse funds. I am a big boy and should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.
I am quite capable of making my own decisions thank you very much. If I want to invest MY money in staid and safe vehicles I will, if I want to take a bit more risk, that is MY choice.
I use leveraged funds to protect my money. For example, by using a 3x leveraged fund, I can invest 333 rather that 1000 if the fund wasn't leveraged. If I invest 1000, and it goes down 50%, I only have 500 in my account. If I lose all the amount in my leveraged fund, I still have 667 that was never invested which is more than if a non-leveraged fund goes down 50%.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Why put restrictions on me? I am not a market manipulator with my small investments of a few thousand dollars. If any regulation is need it is the vary large investors who can swing the market left or right. I
I oppose any restrictions on what I can invest in specifically but not limited to inverse funds
Leveraged and inverse funds are critical to portfolio management, including the capacity to enhance and hedge returns. I regard efforts to limit investment in these funds as highly invasive of personal freedom and choice.
I believe public investments should be made available to the public, and not beheld to arbitrary regulations. This country operates on the principles of life, liberty, and the _pursuit_ of happiness. As such it should be the responsibility of the citizen to gauge the risk of their own assets, not a government imposition to prevent us from trying. As an investor, I am capable of gauging the risk
Accredited investors shouldnt lose rights.
I oppose any new regulation that is going to limit my ability to freely buy and sell shares of certain stock. As average middle class citizens trying to get by we are already getting stretched thin with the recent lowering of the $600 threshold (1099) with this current awful administration, and now this. Stop proposing measures that will only hurt average middle class citizens trying to better
Please stay out of what I invest in! Period.
