I oppose the proposed restrictions to leveraged and inverse funds as well as other investment strategies that are considered "risky." The primary reason I use options are to minimize my risk because I have to invest in the market. Let the buyer beware and suffer or reap the rewards of their own investment decisions.
As an investor I am aware of risks involved with any trade. More regulation of the types of trade I am allowed to participate in is over-regulation and unnecessary. Don't deny me the opportunity to seek gains by choosing investments that you may deem as too risky or requiring more education.
Regulators need to allow individual investors the ability to purchase leveraged securities as it is usually tagged to an actual index of securities. Focus on regulating crypto which is the largest risk to individual investors as it is backed by air, dreams, and greed and especially dangerous now that they are allowed in retirement accounts.
To whom it may concern: As an individual investor I should be able to choose what type of investment options I can invest in at my own risk. I don't need big government "deep state" to interfere. I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public funds.
Dear Sir,
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
including cryptocurrency funds. Please leave it up to individual investors to decide if they want to invest in cryptocurrency funds and assume their risks.
People should be free to invest their money how they see fit. Implementations barriers that only allow wealthy to invest is going to shut doors for people to invest rather than open them. Regulation should simply being acknowledging the risk of the investment nothing more
I disagree with additional regulations affecting or limiting investor freedom to invest in leveraged and/or inverse securities in a timely manner. Rather investor caution can be increased at the time of transaction including examples and contango effect to increase investor awareness of the unique risks of leveraged/inverse securities.
Leveraged and inverse funds are extremely important to my overall investment strategies. I understand the risks of leveraged funds and use them to capture upside in the markets. Several popular single-name stocks have proven to be even more volatile and risky than 3x leveraged funds.
Inverse funds are used as a means to hedge investments. There is ample information and training online regarding short ETFs and therefore testing investors is an unnecessary administrative and financial burden. Regulations should not be put imposed on individuals who should have the freedom to manage their own risk.
I have a right to invest in my own future and for my familys future. I have enough understanding in inverse funds to be able to invest my own funds to receive the results that I am seeking without involvement of other brokers and/or advisors at my own risk.
