I oppose any restriction on my right to invest. Thanks.
Just like I can take a risk on a stock going up, I should likewise be able to take a risk on it going down. Seems like you want to be able to control the market up by flooding us with artificial stimulus ( I consider this endless counterfeiting of our currency) and artificially low interest rates by further increasing our national debt to ridiculous levels but you don't want to suffer the consequences of this limiting our ability to counteract your excesses the way a market is supposed to function. This is [REDACTED]
Leveraged and inverse funds are important part of hedging my portfolio. Sometimes you just need something to inverse Elon Musk momentum plays. Thanks!
There are so many areas where government actions are needed. Except for illegal actions Investors should not be limited .
Leverage is only option for small investors to hedge our long term investment. Otherwise the small investors will have no easy way to hedge their investments since we dont have big money to hedge our investments. Please do not close leverage investments options. Thanks
I'm a regular ordinary not-rich individual. But I'm not stupid and can choose my own investments. Banning or restricting these investments to regular people (and allowing them for the rich and the institutions) is a display of deep disregard for the public. Govt institutions should not be used to just support the rich and connected as we see over and over. These are public investments regular people should be able to invest in should they choose. Thank you.
I am a private citizen who has been managing my own investment accounts for over 20 years. During those years I studied the markets and investment strategies. Initially I had to convince my brokerage firm, Charles Schwab, that I was qualified to trade options and inverse ETFs as well as futures contracts and manage my own accounts. It is very important to me that I be allowed to determine what investment vehicles are appropriate for me and not be told by some beaurocrat what I can and con not invest/trade in. Currently inverse ETFs are an important aspect of my investing strategy.
They aren't that complicated. Do not get rid of inverse or leveraged ETFs.
We as Americans has the right in invest in stocks and bonds of our choice, not regulators. Why should we have to pass a test to invest, we can do our own research and decide if it is worth the risk to invest our money. Many of us have been in the market for decades, it is not up to you what bonds or businesses we support.
