Inverse funds are an important tool for hedging my portfolio in a cost-effective way. These investments lower my overall portfolio risk.
This is unacceptable. As an investor, I should be able to utilize any financial instrument. It should not matter if it is leveraged or not.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST
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.
Please realize that these choices of products greatly improve the choices retail investors have. We should be allowed to have access just as the money managers do to these types of products. We need them to level the playing fields and in fact, can handle these very easily and should need you babysitting me. Please keep your hands off our products.
The people- not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
Let the public make their own decisions - not the regulators - and choose where to invest. one should not have to go thru any special process or test to buy investment products
SEC can go [REDACTED]. They are an evil entity like the rest of treasury and supposed criminal U.S federal reserve. These criminals support their own agenda and are crook like CFTC.
Please let retail customers to have basic free market rights.
