Its my money. These leverage funds only thing protecting my accounts during crashes.
What, i have to increase risk and short now, or maybe worse, buying constantly expiring puts?
I believe public investments tools should be available to all of the public, The fund company follows SEC regulation to offer the prospectus of the fund to investors and investors evaluates own risk tolerance to make decision.
I am in control of the decisions regarding my investments. Do not take that away from me. I understand the risks associated with each investment and am capable of deciding whether they are appropriate for me and my family.
Please do NOT limit investor access to leveraged and inverse funds. They are a very important part of my trading and investment portfolio, and provide a very efficient way to actually reduce risk in volatile markets.
I know what I am doing. I know and accept the downside risk. The leverage of these securities means I do not need to use expensive margin debt or enter into risky short sales. I am delighted with these products.
It is not okay to limit investors' option to invest. Killing market liquidity has never been a good move. I need inverse and leverage funds to hedge my portfolio risk in a low cost way.
This proposal is unconstitutional and can only be decided by individual states. Additionally you can simply warn people about the risks but not make it more difficult to invest or trade in certain funds as that is an undue burden.
I believe I have a right to make my own investment decisions .
I strongly oppose the proposed limitations on leveraged funds. I fully understand the risks and benefits , and I do not want regulators to make decisions for me.
I understand there is risk in investing. There is no reason for you to inhibit regular people from investing in whatever they deem best for their investment objectives. It's our money. We're grown adults. Treat us like it.
Leveraged funds are important investment tool for me as it allows me to hedge my positions without using margin and the added risk involved with doing so. Thank you for this opportunity to be heard.
