We should have our own choice of investment
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 am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
I urge you NOT to restrict ordinary investors from trading leveraged and inverse ETFs for the following reasons:
1. Inverse and inverse leveraged ETFs are often the only vehicles available to ordinary investors to hedge their cash and retirement accounts in a down market, or even to profit from down markets. Wealthy investors have many means to do this. Taking these products away from ordinary investors puts them at an unfair disadvantage.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to your investment strategies. Consider explaining ways you use leverage and inverse funds, including that they help you protect (hedge) your investments or seek enhanced returns, and if you use them as a limited part of your overall portfolio.
This kind of investment provides opportunity to engage in leverage investing in.straightforward easily accessable way. Please do not make complicated for common man like us.Thank you.
I am more than able to choose what investments and type of securities are right for me, not you! Public securities should be available to ALL and not just the privileged.
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 am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
Please respect my right to invest my own money how I see fit.
I fully support these regulations and believe they are long past due.
I oppose regulations that limit or eliminate my ability to choose and/or use any type of investment, specifically leveraged and inverse funds. I know you're from the government and you're here to help me, but please, quit the nanny state [REDACTED] now.
I oppose restrictions to my rights to invest. I believe Americans have the right to trade any public investments with no limitation or restrictions. I, not the regulators should be able to chose the investments that are right for me. I shouldnt have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I do not need those measures imposed on me because Im capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
