I oppose any and all restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, or any other public investment products available through the markets.
I am in the best position to assess investment risk/reward for my portfolio and insist to retain the unmitigated right and responsibility to select any investments, including leveraged and inverse funds, I deem appropriate for my portfolio. Furthermore, I believe the same right to choose such investments must be afforded to all investors, without restriction.
To whom it may concern,
I oppose the proposed restrictions on my right to invest. I have used leveraged funds very effectively for the past several years. I understand they are volital, but used properly that volatility is to my advantage. Leveraged funds are a key component to my overall investment strategy as a hedge and to seek enhanced returns. I do not believe restrictive measures are necessary, and believe I should have a right to these investment choices.
I oppose the restriction of me not being able to invest in what i want..... DO not regulate my investments in funds such as PRO SHARES.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. These leverage and inverse funds help protect (hedge) my investments and provide enhanced returns, and are as a limited part of my overall portfolio.
I am a retiree who has invested for years and I have come to rely on leveraged index funds to provide the long term returns needed for retirement. I fear if this investment option is restricted or eliminated that I and many others would simply not be able to save the funds needed in todays economic environment. Please do not restrict my ability to support myself.
What law or authority dictates the need to regulate people who buy and sell leveraged and inverse funds? Investing in the stock market is risky, but people have successfully invested for hundreds of years and many people have not been successful. I have invested in stocks for over 60 years and have lost money and have made money. I have gambled many times and have always lost money. Before hamstringing investors, the same restrictions should be imposed upon gamblers because I have seen the terrible impact that gambling can have on people's lives.
Do not want regulations on how I can invest my money.
We have the right to make $ too.
