Retail should have the same investment opportunities as institutional
I been doing fine with the Leverage ETF.
I find these funds important to my portfolio and I been using it very wisely.
I don't see a logical research of getting ready of the leverage and inverse funds.
Thank you
Let me decide where I can invest my money
Don't take this away.
You can have more requirement.
I am an individual investor directing my own portfolios. The right to choose the investment vehicles that I deem best for me and my investment goals, risk tolerance, and interests should be sacrosanct. If I wish to invest in public securities such as leveraged and inverse funds, cryptocurrency funds, etc., doing so should be my choice without regulators dictating to me, requiring special testing or other bars to investment. Public investments should be something every person, not just privileged or politically-connected people, can decide for themselves to use.
Who does the government think they are to determine what public investments I as an individual Im allowed to make? All investments have been vetted by regulatory commissions and are valid, legal, investment instruments that have been made available for decades. The idea that you would impose conditions upon which a private individual can make an investment is essentially communism and entirely illegal for the government to impose. The idea of requiring tests, or cooling off periods, Are far outside of the scope of any regulatory body. What will you do next?
I would like to continue to trade leveraged and inverse funds
Greetings,
I hope to be able to choose the public investments without restriction, and no need to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities including leveraged and inverse funds. I fully understand the risk of those leveraged and inverse funds. Please do not impose additional rules or measure.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to protect (hedge) my investment and I tend to use them as a limited part of my investment portfolio.
I do not require or do I need " Big Brother or Sister" deciding what's best for me and my family. I consider myself mature and wise enough to accept the risk and reward that is inherent in the world of investing...
I have traded these products for thirty years. I understand the risks and rewards.These products are needed for liquidity, price discovery and hedging. The volume of these products clearly shows that they are needed. Investments must be available to all members of the public, not just to s select few, selected by some arbitrary process. A signed document, in the customers account file, that explains the risks is enough to allow individuals the opportunity to trade these products.
