I oppose limitations on my investments
I strongly oppose limitations on investors. The government has no to restrict how I spend or invest as long as its legal.
We as individual investors should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for our family. Currently there are always warnings before we submit a leverage/ riskier trade, which I think its enough to warn people who dont understand. Each individual should be responsible for his/her own decisions. Whoever understands the risk of investments shouldnt be required to take extra time through bureaucracy to be approved for investing in public trades.
Thank you.
I enjoy investing with leveraged and inverse ETF's and have found them as a compliment and beneficial asset to my portfolio. I would ask that retail investors (whatever level) be able to invest in these products. Freedom to invest in the products that best fit your needs and strategy are helpful for me as I save for retirement, down payment, and other savings goals. Thanks for your time.
I'm against any restrictions on my ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds. Buy inverse funds during the down turn of the market is equivalent to buy insurance. This is an important tool for investment.
Leave it alone. Most of my profitable trades are from these stocks. I am retired and trying keep up. Please.
Im Informed investor and I should be allowed to participate In all structure investments that are offered to the public
Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. It is important that individual small investors not have their rights of financial self-determination impinged by regulators. All investors need to be allowed equal footing from which to operate. The super-wealthy should not be granted the privilege of having tools available, which protect and hedge other investments that the small investor does not have.
I showed have the freedom to invest in what I want. This would be very un-american if it goes through.
Comments:its my choice to trade any and all securities including leveraged and contra etfs. The information on its risks is widely available and I reviewed it many times. Its my responsibility. I and we do the Due Diligence as long as full disclosure is provided.
Thank you,
