Pushing unregulated crypto to the masses is nothing short of racketeering. I am a risk professional. Your industry has ZERO creditability in this arena. These products are the only thing protecting retail investors from the FED fueled, financially engineered, derivatives death star. FINRA's attempt at regulation is an indictment on the financial systems lack risk management.
You should allow people to make their own decisions
I have been utilizing leveraged instruments for over a decade and consider them a valuable tool, cost effective way to personally structure my investments. options are far more complex and riskier. do not restrict investor access to leveraged and inverse ETFs
Leveraged and inverse funds allow me to hedge my portfolio and generate enhanced returns using derivatives. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand the concept of these funds and everyone should have access to them. Retail investors are capable of doing their own research and coming to a conclusion on whether or not these fit their risk tolerance and strategy without having to pass a test. There's plenty of information online to self educate. These shouldn't become restricted.
There is no logical rationale to start regulating leveraged ETF's. Trade at your own risk.
leverage etf is an important tool for trading. I strongly against restriction on that.
Every investor should have access to these funds!
High net worth requirements are a horrible restriction to place on leveraged securities. A regulator imposed test , and attesting to reading certain materials is fine because anyone has the capabilities to do this, many individuals have been investing their entire lives and have a plethora of knowledge and would not be able to meet this high net worth requirement. Leverage and inverse securities do pose higher risk but so do options and short positions, why should leveraged and inverse have a high net worth requirement when these other risky investments do not?
I WOULD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY/SELL THE INVERSE FUNDS. I USUALLY DO NOT DO THIS OFTEN BUT WOULD TRY ONCE EVERY NOW AND THEN. IF I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION, THEN I WOULD DEFINITELY LOOSE THE CHANCE TO INVEST THE WAY I WOULD THINK IS BETTER FOR SHORT TIME INVESTMENT.
