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.
My husband and I invest casually in video games, automotive, and TQQQ. I feel everyone should have access to public investments. To invest in any stock or fund involves some risk. That is the nature of it. My family should have the same access to investments that we have always had. If we were restricted from trading TQQQ, wouldnt that take the free out of free market?
I strongly oppose any regulator telling me that I cannot invest in public investments! Don't need to jump through hoops and complete all the bureaucratic red tape in order to participate in the investment of public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. Without access to these investment tools it will severely
impact my ability to protect and balance my portfolio. Please vote no to place any restrictions or regulations on the above mentioned investments!
Thank you for your consideration.
We need to have a say in our own investments
I fully understand how these leverage funds work, so please let us continue trading these funds as we always have. Thanks.
I am capable of determining my risk and making my own financial decisions. When you contribute to my investments I'll seek your opinions.
