I should be able to choose the investments for my portfolio. Leverage ETFs are important part of my investment strategy. Any limitations/restrictions will require me to change my entire investment strategy.
It is imperative that investors have the autonomy to invest in the things we do choose. It should no be limited to a few privileged people, or the rich, or high net worth people. We live in a society that all are created equally and we should maintain this with investment strategies, opportunities and tools available to invest in.
I dont feel that we need to take a test to test our knowledge on a subject to invest in it. If thats is what is required maybe we should force that before we vote? Lets be real, and stop the malarkey. Keep your regulations to yourselves.
Please do not add new regulations to being able to invest in leveraged and inverse funds.
There is a need for these types of funds. The leveraged and inverse funds are a necessary option to my portfolio.
There are warnings issued when you place an order for these types of special funds.
I am extremely disturbed that regulators want to limit my ability to choose financial instruments. The contributor (public) should be able to choose the right investment for their individual situation NOT the regulators. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. This smacks of Government thinking they know better than the individual.
I oppse any restrictions to my right to buy any fund even if they are the leveraged or inverse etfs. Please don't block me! Thank you!
TQQQ and SQQQ are great for investors with less experience. Please keep them open for trade. Thanks.
Regulating the use of leveraged or inverse products to individual investors is a devastating and disastrous move to the public. It has no place in our free and open markets. These unique instruments allow for limited hedging and protection for portfolios of self directed investors such as myself in a very targeted and a LOW risk strategy and methodology which is extremely important ESPECIALLY in times of volatility - like NOW. The market has seen some idiotic speculation in some areas over the past few years but this is NOT one of them.
I should have access to leveraged and inversed fund. I know what they are. I should not take test to invest in these funds.
As an individual investor, I take full responsibility for my investment choices. Public investment tools should be available to all, not just the privileged. Leveraged and inverse funds, options, etc. are important financial tools in the portfolio. I sometimes use them for risk management. I am strongly against the proposal to limit the trading of such financial tools. I do not want to have to go through more "tests" other than the existing financial and experience screens already held by the brokerage platforms.
