Hello, I strongly oppose restrictions to my right to invest! I should not have to pass a regulator-imposed test of my investment knowledge, attest to reading special materials or get a special approval from my broker for investments that are right for me and my family. Regards, Saeed Taheri [REDACTED]
This appears to be part of campaign by ProShares to protect their inverse ETFs. Their sponsorship of the comment site (leteveryoneinvest.com) is hidden. It fails a basic transparency test.
Please review and consider the list of investments to see if they are all equally or substantially toxic to the general public.
It is a shame their isn't a malpractice standard for investment firms.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I shouldn't have to pass a test or otherwise prove my knowledge base before I can invest my money as I see fit. I have a Master's degree from Boston College; I am perfectly capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds.
I do not need or want special processes or tests before investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding the principles and risks of such funds, and the strategies used to protect my exposure to losses. I have significant experience, and utilize fund strategies to offset risks in my normal investments.
I am writing in opposition to proposed restrictions regarding inverse etfs. I use these etfs as a convenient hedge against possible downsides in the markets. Please do not put restrictions in place that would require me to take a test or have a cooling off period before purchasing them.
It's on the diligence of the investor to know what they are investing in. If you believe buying and selling leveraged ETF's is too risky for investors what about regular stocks? Should retail investors take tests to see if they can trade public securities? The market is speculation, there is always risk.
This is a violation of the free market principals. Risk assessment and tolerance is an INDIVIDUAL human characteristic, and therefore this approach will not work. Furthermore, I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
Dear Regulators, I, not you, should choose whether I can invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs. additionally, I should not have to take and/or pass any tests to be able to invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs. I am fully aware of the risks associated with investing in leveraged and inverse ETFs.
You should not restrict access to me trading Leveraged or Inverse funds. I am currently in one of those and know the risks. You have no right to make me pass a test to trade these. These are public securities. We are already warned by our brokers that there is risk. That should be sufficient.
I should have the right to choose public investments. Regulators do not need to impose any measures to test my knowledge of leveraged and inverse funds and the risks involved. I use these investments to protect me and to seek enhanced returns as a limited part of my overall investment portfolio.
