I strongly believe financial institutions should be required to report their short positions daily. The problem of naked shorting (and related naked calls/puts) has turned Wall Street into one of the largest havens for fraud in the world, and it puts companies that otherwise would have a fighting chance at great risk of being ruined by bad actors.
I oppose any restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. These funds are critical components to my investment strategy. Regulators have no right to tell me what I CANNOT invest in when such investments are in the public domain. I have a brain and I can understand risks. I control my investments - not you or any other entity. There should be no limits, restrictions or special
I feel strongly that I should not have to prove to anyone that I am capable of choosing my own investments. Such a restriction would prevent me from using inverse ETFs to hedge during downtrends in the market (such as we are currently experiencing) and also prevent me from taking advantage of downtrends in the market. Cooling off periods may expose me to a complete inability to protect my money
As long as you have a margin account, leveraged and inverse funds don't matter because you can use margin leverage and short the funds. The leveraged and inverse funds are much safer to manage the risk rather than using margin because unlike leveraged margin positions, the leveraged and inverse funds never go negative price. In that sense, the leveraged and inverse funds are actually safer
I am a public investor, I opposed restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds because: - Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged, I am not a regulator, I am one of the public, so I should have the right being able to choose any public investments; - I understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks, I should not have to go
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. 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 shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and
As an investor I want and deserve the freedom to make my own choices about assets in which I invest. The SEC should not be taking on the role of "big brother" to oversee and perhaps overrule the decisions of millions of investors. Many of the decisions that all Americans make carry risks even greater than our investments. For example, the person we choose to marry or our career choices
The SEC needs to stop placing burdensome regulations on the average trader while kowtowing to the rich. Stop over regulating everything! I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can
The proposed rule is another example of limiting small investors and speculators with the excuse of protecting them. This paternalistic approach only favors the larger investors by making various investment instruments and strategies more difficult to access. This is quite interesting considering it is occurring at a time when it is clear that they will become especially useful. I am completely
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.
