Thanks to all of you wonderful regulators stocks are extremely overvalued. So instead of putting 100% of my portfolio in stocks I put 20% in leveraged S&P 500 fund like UPRO and it performs the same as having 100% of my portfolio in stocks.
There should be no more requirements on purchasing leveraged stocks than any other stock. All stocks have an inherent risk associated with ownership and the possibility of loosing money. Leveraged securities should have no more requirements to ownership than any other security.
The fact that hedge funds can manipulate a stock with short selling stocks that are not even available is a crime that needs to be punished. This is not a new senerio but one that has been overlooked for a long time. Now millions of retail investors have realized the fraud and are demanding action. If this is not rectified the retail investor will pull out of the stock market as it is not a level
I don't believe these leveraged funds are riskier than any other stock, an education into the stock market is a must before you just throw money into it, but freedom means that not only can institutions be aloud to buy and sell these stocks but so should everyone else.
I am not understanding why you should restrict these funds from the public. We should have the same freedom to invest in any Funds that are available to big banks and Wall Street.
It seems things change when the market is going down. But not when its going up.
A lot of 3 x leveraged and inverse stocks have been dropped down to 1.5 and 2 X
Worse is the big drops down for no reason and the reverse
Pamela Davis , I should be able to purchase as well to whatever stocks I deem to acquire. I should not have to be tested per se or read certain materials to purchase. This is controlling and manipulative ways to not allow person who are not stock regulators to purchase stock. This is a travesty to say the least.
I have been investing in leveraged funds for many years, any investment has risk, leveraged funds carry less risk than many individual stocks that have no such requirement as they are a balance of many stocks which is better than someone who invests too much in a specific stock.
Hello, I heard that there's going to be a regulation on leveraged and inverse funds. I know that the market hasn't been good lately and I assume it negatively impacted many individuals, but I believe that's similar to the regular stock market. I admit that there are dangeroud funds (TQQQ or SQQQ) but many funds are a good way for people to distribute the stock evenly and many times
I've been using leveraged ETFs as well as ETNs for years. Why should I suddenly be subject to restrictions on products that I understand the risks for. Investing in these products isn't actually inherently riskier than simply investing in an individual stock, even a popular and widely-owned one (and indeed often is LESS risky, depending on the specifics of the stock).
Should
It is my right to buy any stock I want and it is against the free market to limit my right! Also, I have lost since I bought my leveraged stock and I was not planning to sell it anytime soon. By selling my stock, you are forcing me to loose money in short term, which is not fair.
