I strongly oppose limitations on on my investments for Leveraged and Inverse Funds.
I should be able to make my own decisions when choosing the public investments for me and my family without the regulators' interference in any way, not to mention to go through any process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am totally capable of understanding the risks involved in those funds.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities,like leveraged and inverse funds. I'm capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
Since inverse funds are obviously for hedging, limiting their use would make investing much riskier and more precarious for retail investors. I was able to avoid utter ruin during several market crashes by having leveraged inverse ETFs in my accounts as hedges. This is the only viable way to sufficiently hedge your portfolio if you are a retail investor.
Inverse funds are part of my investment strategy, especially in markets like we have today. I should be able to decide what I want to invest in, not someone who does not know me or my situation.
I know what I am doing. I know the risk on investing in the leveraged instruments.
Pls stop the trend towards regulating free choice & adult behavior in America by our govt agencies.
Any additional regulation is an insult to my intelligence as an investor. I already know the risks involved and accept them as I make such investments. The use of these funds is an important part of my investment strategy. Stay out of the way.
We as individual investors need to have equal opportunity to invest like the pros and would like for us to have access to these leveraged funds. We as individual investors assume these risks of higher losses also and the ability to use leveraged funds should not be taken away from us.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged ETFs. They are tools that should be available to everyone not just the very rich and connected.
