I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged..I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I would like to update the regulators to put no imposed meausres on us.
The risks of trading leveraged and inverse ETFs are well known. Retail traders who can trade options or futures should be able to trade such ETFs without restriction. Its less expensive and easier to do than trading options and futures and dealing with margin etc.
I am tired of the government thinking for me. Our freedoms are compromised enough without regulators telling me what's best, or making me jump through endless loops to invest in public securities and the leveraged or inverse funds I may want to use to offset risk.
Stay [REDACTED] out of my life [REDACTED]. No one asked you know-it-alls to decide whether we should take certain risks or not. Mind your own business and leave us alone! Go see your kids ballgame and do something useful.
The regulations being considered are discriminatory. As Capitalist it is essential to have the freedom to purchase the specific assets or investment vehicles on the open market that work best for yourself or family. As Sophisticated investors this is not robinhood or gambling. WE UNDERSTAND THE RISKS and have years of experience trading in the markets. [REDACTED]
Please do not impose this rule. This leaves only wealthy investors to take part in opportunities with these funds. Investors know there are risks inherent with investing, especially in leveraged funds. This new rule will hurt investors, not help them. I strongly urge you to reconsider. Thank you.
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. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need the proposed measures imposed on me.
I am your average retail investor, who uses leveraged products as part of my strategy. I understand the risks of these funds, and the inherent drawbacks.
Please do not artificially limit access to these funds so that they are only widely available to institutions and hedge funds, and inaccessible to the average american.
I should be free to invest where I see fit. I know the potential risks - and rewards - of leveraged and inverse funds and incorporate them into my portfolio to hedge against losses and seek better returns. Imposing restrictions, like testing, restricts the ability to invest in such funds to the privileged and well-connected.
STOP TRYING TO PROTECT INVESTORS BY PASSING RESTRICTIONS LIKE THIS. Most investors dont even know what leveraged/inverse ETFs are; those of us who do, are sophisticated enough to understand the risks involved and we dont need any more protection that limits the free market.
