Do not move forward for limiting investors ability to directly invest of pro shares. Ive been doing it for years and found it to be very straightforward and not as complexes if some would make it sound. Do not change the rules. We will work hard to overturn any rule that you might put in place that would limit our ability to directly invest in that would cost you a lot of time and money in the future. Dont change the rules today theyre working just fine and a common American investor is benefited greatly from pro shares.
I totally reject the government restricting my access to investment products that are properly and transparently marketed and regulated with regards to their upside and downside risks. I totally reject any attempts of the government to extend any exclusion of public markets to exacerbate the wealth disparity we already have.
I use this to hedge the volatility the fed has created.
I am against any kind of restrictions and regulations that limit my rights to invest my money the way I freely decide myself.
I understand the risk and reward of investing in leveraged and inverse ETF. I invest in them as part of my portfolio strategy.
I believe everyone should be able to trade these ETF's. Please don't take that away from us!!!
Only I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, 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. The more government helps me, the more damage they do to me.
Private investors understand the risk. My question is why are you proposing this?. I dont see a public outcry of investors saying they were uninformed. Youre claiming a need to put out the smoke when there is no fire that started it.
Its important to me that I am able to invest as I see fit. Not how some bureaucrats see fit.
