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.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my
investment strategies. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you 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 these measures imposed on me!
These regulations on leveraged products have much less risk then directly shorting an issue or using leverage or futures. To prohibit them indicates that only the wealthiest have access to such vehicles. How about banning stock buybacks instead? They're used to keep the market crashing as dishonest insiders liquidate their fake companies and get rich.
As an individual investor, with limited capital at hand, leveraged ETFs provide great and easy opportunities for me to grow my investment. We understand the risk comes with it and simple stop loss/capital management strategy keeps me away from large capital loss. So I strongly expect these investment tools to be still available to us.
As a retail investor, I should be able to choose which investments I want to invest my money in (including leveraged and inverse funds), based on my own research and risk assessment. I don't see any need for additional tests and reading material Current prospectus and details are more than sufficient and no further checks and restrictions are needed.
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.
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
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
The ability the hedge my account with leveraged ETFs is invaluable.I am able to manage risk without having to buy puts and or call options which have an expiration and are costly. Also, all stocks are risky these ETFs are no different i.e, Netflix just went from 700 per share down to 209 in a few months!
