I have used ProShares as a hedge against market declines many times. It actually lowers risk in my portfolio in that its an insurance against large market drops.
I totally oppose any restrictions on trading this product!
My investments are my own choice. I interact with these investment options with a full knowledge of their potential risks. There is more than sufficient information available to the average investor to ensure full comprehension of these vehicles. Do not restrict this accessibility.
I understand leverage and inverse funds and risks associated with funds. I found that these funds are working well for hedging against my long term investments for me. So please allow individual investors to have that funds available.
I manage my IRA in a Schwab account and without the ability to short utilize inverse ETF's to help hedge in this bearish environment. I have been trading for a number of years and am aware of the risk of leveraged ETF's and stick with single leverage products.
The options for rich people to invest are already significantly more than everyone else, why would we restrict one more option. I understand what I'm doing in leveraged asset classes and the risks they contain.
as investor and trader, we are aware of risks associate with trades, all trades. ETF including inverse etf are essential tooks we employ to adjust complicate, dynamic market conditions. I oppose restrictions to such etfs. thanks
I object to the possibility of restricting my investment choices. I fully understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. For years leveraged and inverse funds have been important to my investment strategy and I would like it to stay that way.
It would be preposterous to restrict purchase of securities that permit me to hedge my risk.
Not sure why regulators would consider themselves as more concerned about my financial well being than I am myself.
Leveraged eft are the few investing tool available to me and most small retail investors. If we cant use them, then we may have to borrow from margin which will cost more and with more risk.
I am a seasoned investor who invests in leveraged funds I am not accredited but understand the risks involved. By removing the ability to trade leveraged etfs and funds would be doing myself and many others an injustice thank you
