I like to invest, and I have experience
I would like to continue investing in leveraged ETFs. I feel I am acting in my familys best interest. Thank you.
I am concerned about my future ability to invest in various types of products that I have utilised over the last few years. I have invested in inverse ETF's, currency ETF's, Leveraged ETF's, foreign country or market ETF's, etc.
I should have the right to invest in these vehicles for the benefit of my family, and not be told what I can and cannot invest in. Anyone who is trading in these or any other investment vehicle is perfectly able to protect them selves by the appropriate monitoring of their investments and using stop orders and trailing losses.
Individual investors, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for themselves and their family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.
Leveraged funds also reduce my buy/sell, so reduce the fluctuant of market activities.
It is important to me to be able to hedge positions in my investment portfolio through the use of options and inverse funds without restrictions being placed on my ability to select and exercise these trade tools. It is especially useful in market environments like we are experiencing now. I wish to continue to be able to protect my investments when markets are in decline with the ease afforded by the use of leveraged and inverse funds.
Leverage and inverse funds are great equity items, even for general public
I do not think that it is the job of the regulators to restrict my ability to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. The regulators or government should not burden me with restrictive tests or limit me from participating in investments that the more privileged enjoy. It is not the job of the regulators or government to tell me how to invest in a free market. By being able to participate freely in the stock market I can now chose to build my portfolio with lower risk, medium risk, and higher risk stocks.
I do not want restrictions placed on securities like testing requirements. I use leveraged securities and understand and accept the risk. Please do not impose restrictions on my investments. Thank you.
its my duty as an investor to understand the risk and rewards. Why does someone with more net assets have to have more knowledge then me, sure your saying that becuase they have more assets they can diversify more but they can make the same mistakes as anyone else. I shouldnt have to pass a test to buy a stock, if I dont do enough accurate erase arch it should be on my just like any other stock
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
