Use of derivatives was proposed by Anddre Perod of Harvard Business School in about 2000 at the HBS Investment Management lectures. Security markets are not a one-way street, he explained. It is a good way to hedge portfoliios, and with leverage it can provide an efficient use of capital so long as there is an appropiate risk discipline as volatility is maximized.
I, not regulators, 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 do not need these measures imposed on me.
These funds help me protect (hedge) my investments.
Regulators should not be able to prevent me or force me to take tests before I can invest in public securities like TQQQ.
I understand about investor funds and their risk. The above
fund has allowed me to easily increase my retirement funds, so
do not take that away from me.
As an investor, I understand the risk associated with leveraged and inverse ETFs. Leveraged and inverse funds are important for my investment strategy. These funds are a small portion of my portfolio. I also use them to hedge my investments and to seek enhanced returns. As an investor I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and my family.
Please dont regulate my ability to purchase leveraged funds. I currently own pros are funds and am aware of risks associated with leveraged funds. I watch them closely and have been successful in building my financial portfolio. Public investments should be a available to all without regulation. Not just the privileged
I believe that these new regulations will help people. Many people don't understand anything about investing, and might put all of their money in one single stock, and lose it all.
Many people are not capable of understanding investment risks. I do not believe that "my rights will be taken away" if these regulations are made law. That is silly.
I should have the right to invest my money as I choose. I understand the risks that I assume when investing my money in public securities. Leveraged and inverse funds allow me to hedge other invests so that I can protect myself should the market become bearish. I use an inverse fund for such a purpose currently
Inverse and leveraged funds are a perfectly transparent and clear way for investors to gain advantages over various market conditions without the complexity of option agreements that could expose them to massive risk. Unlike a short option, losses in an inverse fund are limited to the size of the investment, a responsible and conservative path for any investor.
We, not regulators should be able to choose what we invest in. No special process such as an exam should be required. We understand and trade at our own risk. No test can change that. Leveraged & inverse funds are needed in my portfolio. They require less cash and are not subject to earnings volatility or principle changes.
I don't need regulators to restrict the investments I choose to invest in. Government need not interfere in our ability to buy Cryptocurrency funds. It affords us the opportunity to make small investments we would otherwise not be able to. I am responsible for my decision making and know the risks. Please leave small investors alone
