I have been actively trading for for 40 years. I have experience in trading comodity futures as well as stock options. I am fully aware of and accept the risks involved in leveraged and inverse funds.
I'm a retail investor. Please don't make it harder for retail investors to define their own strategy. If that strategy includes leveraged ETFs, as it does for me, we're capable of evaluating that risk for ourselves.
These leveraged and inverse products are valuable instruments for managing risk and seeking enhanced returns. I understand these instruments and I object to any friction that prevents me, or any other investor, from using them.
Hi - leveraged index investing is a key component of my retirement strategy in both taxable and tax sheltered accounts. The risks are clearly defined and putting heavy restrictions on these funds is a disservice to investors.
I would be opposed to limitations on leveraged and inverse funds for investors. I use these for a small portion of my portfolio to increase returns and limit risks. As long as investors are given a suitable disclosure this should be enough.
I oppose people being taken advantage of by greedy conmen, so I support whatever these dweebs are against. People need to be educated before investing so they know the full extent of the risks involved.
Leveraged funds are an important part of my investment strategy. Information on these funds and their risks are readily available to public investors. Restricting these funds to only a select few would be harmful to the general public.
I am an experienced, educated investor using a self directed account. I use leveraged ETF's regularly, and safely to increase my income stream. I understand the risk and implement the necessary trailing stops.
DON'T YOU DARE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO IMPOSE ANY MEASURES TO KEEP ME 'SAFE'. I AND MANY OTHER AMERICANS ARE MORE THAN ABLE TO UNDERSTAND LEVERAGED AND INVERSE FUNDS AND THEIR RISKS.
I understand the risk of leveraged ETF/products and use them carefully. They help me get bigger returns with less capital. I should be able to choose what I invest in without having to pass tests.
