Dear sir,
As an investor, we have the right to choose our own investments. Inverse ETFs allow the average investor to hedge the their downside risks in a falling market! Do not take this tool away from the average investor. Markets do not just up and we need investment opportunities in both bull and bear markets.
I have been trading Leveraged ETF's for several years and I know the risk. I have had stocks go to zero and ADR's disappear without notice. I feel that I have the right to trade what I want and it should not be regulated for certain individuals. Why is it OK for some and then not for others?
Please let me be the judge of what I want to trade
I have done my own research and am aware of the risks and benefits associated with leveraged ETFs. I currently own such investments so that I can leverage the midcap class and I plan on buying more on my own accord in the future. I will be less inclined to engage in these strategies if I am limited by a regulator with regards to which funds I can purchase.
Government over reach is a horrible thing. Are you stopping people from entering casinos next?
Diversified leveraged investing isnt right for all but for a percentage of your portfolio, it can actually enhance returns while lowering risk. Dont take away our freedom to invest in our country and the future of our children.
We shouldn't have to go through any special tests before we invest our money in public securities of our choice, like leveraged and inverse funds that we trade frequently. we understand leveraged and inverse funds and their associated risks. We do not need any restrictions imposed upon us.
The government has no place in regulating when and how Americans decide to invest our own money. We understand the risks and it is in insult to every American that the government thinks that they know what is best for us. Keep your government over reach out of my finances and freedom to live the life that is best for me and my family.
I, as an investor and as a financial advisor, should be able to choose the publicly-traded investments that best fit my and my family's needs based on our goals, risk tolerance, and timeline without interference from regulators. It is my responsibility to educate myself on these type of investments before deciding whether or not they are appropriate for my and my family's
Investors, like the freedom of speech, need to have the latitude to discern and invest in product of their choosing. The products in which you are attempting to limit, are essential to hedging positions and mitigating directional risk. These tools are also useful in speculative positions, inherent to investors with strong views on market direction. Do not alter our ability to participate in the
I have recently used small inverse funds to help me hedge the terrible fall in my stocks. If not for these funds, I would have considered selling off many more of my holdings at losses rather than take even more risk. Is this really what you want? Please don't add any restrictions.
I have many years experience in investing, 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'm totally capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on you. Thank you!
