I disagree with the regulation of my right to invest in inverse and/or leveraged funds. The ability to invest in these types of funds ought to be available to all types of investors, not just the high net worth people. My ability to hedge my investments is even more important the smaller my portfolio and net worth are. The regulations if imposed would impede the ability to respond quickly to changing investment situations and would result in more money being lost as your flexibility and agility would be impeded.
I would like to keep my freedom of investing how much I want and where I want. I don't think limiting the quantity it putting restrictions are gonna do any help so I don't support this proposal.
Government should NOT restrict investor access to any securities since they should have access to the entire spectrum of risk-reward. This regulation smacks of socialism and communism.
I have found leveraged and inverse ETFs to be extremely valuable in managing the risk in my personal portfolio without having to try to do so by shorting stocks, which carries significantly more risk. There are plenty of warnings and disclaimers when buying these securities, or even reviewing them, to alert investors of the risks. It would be detrimental to my investment strategy if access to these investments were restricted or removed. Thank you for your consideration.
Leverage funds are useful tools to individual investors to hedge ridge and enhance investment returns. These leverage tools should be available to all investors instead of limited to hedge funds and investment bankers.
I oppose, the people have the right to invest.
I oppose limitations on my investments
Investors should be allowed to invest as they see fit - it's on them to understand the risks and how these instruments work, and to never put all/most of their money into any one security.
Investors should be able to choose the public investments that are right for their family. Using leverage and inverse funds help me protect and hedge my investments
