Leveraged and Inverse funds are important to my investment strategy and I urge you not to restrict their use. These funds provide important tools for hedging portfolios that were not available to the average investors prior to there creation.
Thank you for taking this into consideration.
Sincerely,
Thomas Browns
I believe investors should have the ability to use levered funds without further regulation.
Please leave our investment choices free!
Seems funny that now that our investments stand the chance of being profitable you want to pull the rug out from under us.
I understand risks of these products, and can make my own investment decisions
Investors should be allowed to invest how and when they would like. We all know there are risks in any investment, and as long as there are rules that are enforced to make it an even playground, the SEC should not be the "parent" telling adults how to invest their funds.
Maybe not allow Politicians who have insider knowledge invest in stocks that they can manipulate with notices and hearings is a more important use of the SEC time.
These investing products are particularly useful for investors to capitalize in certain fields in which diversification is otherwise far too burdensome. This regulation only hurts small investors like myself.
This is unfair for ppl who can long term invest for fair priced etfs which is composite of high priced stocks , so dont be selective in who can invest and let middle class income ppl also make a money by investing
Leveraged etfs are one of the few financial products that offer daily compounding.
It is the sole responsibility of the investor to choose securities that meets their assessed risk tolerance. It is the responsibility of the securities and brokerages to accurately publish the risks and potentials for their products. Thus, adding regulations beyond these fundamental purposes skew the landscape to play favoritism and hurt the market. Demanding a test or license or education minimum or net worth minimum will make these products effectively unusable to the public, and thus create a systemic marginalization of minority groups.
