Respectfully, the government I vote and pay for has no right nor business to turn back to any citizen with ANY type of bureaucratic restrictions on their investments.
As a lifelong USA citizen I would he harmfully effected economically by a wide range of investment categories you are considering restricting.
Stop treating the voting public like children. You are in no position to be deciding what I may or may not invest in legally. Such ill advised decisions wil inevitable drive investment money into illegal activities.
Everyone should equally be able to make trades in public investment, not only by specific group of people.
i oppose restrictions to right to invest.
This top down socialist control needs to stop today. From investments to medical care. I oppose restrictions to my investment decisions and the right to invest. Get out of our lives and live your own.
The ability to use leveraged ETF's gives individual investors a good way to buy PROTECTION against downside or buy long when market corrects. Do NOT take away our ability to compete with big boys.
You should be making it easier for people to invest not harder. You are keeping the poor poor when you do t let them invest and the rich rich. I'm sure this is the point. The rich elite need the debt slaves to serve them. What you do is evil.
This is a wildly inappropriate overreach by regulators.
I'm already unable to participate in IPOs that I would otherwise be very comfortable investing in because I'm not an "accredited investor." What happened to these "accredited investors" when they lost everyone's money in 2008? Did they go to jail? Did they lose their right to trade? No.
Trying to remove one of the few avenues left for a retail trader to make good gains is just plain wrong.
I use leveraged and inverse ETFs as short term investments and its important to allow retail investors the same flexibility to trade in rising and falling markets as hedge funds. I understand the risk/reward profile of these and would be devastated if the option were taken away from me just because Im a retail investor.
Being able to invest in an inverse bond fund has allowed me to mitigate risk that I would be unable to achieve on my own. Without the freedom to invest a small part of my portfolio in an inverse bond fund I would have suffered significant losses, and I lack the bandwidth to buy and sell options directly. The 1% overhead cost of the fund is well worth it.
