Leveraged ETFs are a fundamental core of my investing strategy, and eliminating them would harm retail investors like myself who are taking advantage of leveraged ETFs.
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in leverage and inverse funds. I use them as a means of hedging my portfolio when market's are turning or are particularly volatile. By doing so they help me preserve the value of my investments and for me restrictions would be counterproductive.
It is ridiculous to require testing or a special process to purchase inverse funds. Investors require hedging mechanisms. With my exposure to bonds, I require some protection against rising rates, inverse treasury funds help provide that protection. We don't need a nanny, but we do need good sources of information to help us make the best investment decisions.
There is no need to regulate Aggregate Stocks. I use Spiders to avoid paying for Mutual Fund Service fees. I want my Investment funds simply to track Market Index.
Please keep it to the decision of each individual investor whether to have the risk or not.
There is no need to regulate
Don't rule on this everyone should be able to invest. I OPPOSE restrictions on my right to invest
Hi, I believe this is a gross over reach of regulation. Its border line insulting to believe that average people are incapable of assessing risk/reward for themselves. This would only hinder the average persons ability to participate in the financial markets. This is a rule that would benefit the already wealthy class and hinder the middle class ability to advance.
I AM AGAINST THIS IDEA ! BUT I DO HAVE A GOOD IDEA PUT TERM LIMITS ON ALL CONGRESS MEMBERS !!!
please leave the regulations alone, do not change how we are able to invest in leveraged and inverse funds
While I am not a financial professional, I have been managing my own investments for over 40 years. Studying the financial markets and the available instruments is something that I do on a regular basis. I fully understand the risks of leveraged and inverse funds and have successfully used these funds to help me meet my financial goals as part of diversified investment portfolio. I do not feel that my investment choices should be limited by FINRA.
