To Whom it May Concern:
I have been investing on my own for most of my adult life through a process that uses all means available to learn about the best methods and options to secure my family's future.
Investing is always risky, markets do not always continue to go up. However, through the use of leveraged funds I have an opportunity to boost my results above typical market returns while taking into consideration that these funds are only a complement to my overall investment strategy. I allocate their use with a small segment of my overall investments fully understanding the inherent risks.
This rules limits progress and hurts the working class account holder. I have met my goals only using leverage ETFs because I only had to use a portion of my capital for stock risk. And the rest in income producing assets! Please oppose this bill....and youll have my vote!
I oppose limitations on my ability to buy the Funds. Thank you.
This is not right by any measure of ethics
Violates the Existence of a Free Market is a basic principle of trading in the Stock Market. The inverse leveraged Securities have taken a Hugh Beating while the Indexes continued to rise.
Now that the Trends are changing Regulators are wanting to
place restrictions on these leveraged inverse funds.
Short Selling is not regulated and it is normally augured that it is necessary for a Free Market. If that is true, the same should apply to the leveraged and inverse funds.
I oppose this regulation because the etf/fund is already obligated by federal law to disclose risks and fees to the public. If a potential investor wants to invest in these securities, especially in a self directed brokerage account, they are acknowledging the disclosures laid out by the fund. Detailed disclosure is already listed in the fund/etf prospectus. Adding additional hurdles limits liquidity and free market investment
Hello,
I am adamantly opposed to any additional regulation on leveraged or inverse funds as they are important to our family's investment strategies and allow me to manage and reduce risk through their very structure.
I am a small investor who would like to continue to choose my own investments, including the ones that this FINRA rule would restrict as too "complex". I've spent considerable time educating myself on investment theory and the value of a diversified portfolio, and I use a mix of "complex" and conservative investments to match my goals and risk tolerance. If the new rule is approved, I would lose the flexibility to use these investments.
