Do not restrict my right to invest in whatever public investments I choose. I'm an adult and an American citizen and have the right to do so. It's not your job to make those decisions for me.
stop the attempt to over-regulate the current leveraged and inverse funds/ETFs
Please don't remove my only way to make money during market corrections. I use inverse ETF's during these times and they are extremely important to me to grow my investments during market corrections.
I have not been able to trade my positions for 6 months. Pointless and unfair limitations.
I am opposed to changes in my ability to invest in inverse or leveraged securities, because it is an important part of my investment work. I am very well informed about all of this, and these proposed changes would cost me a lot of money. I will take you to court if necessary.
It is completely unjustified to not allow retail investors the Same opportunities that hedge funds are allowed to leverage for the same purpose.
Please do not limit my ability to trade ETFs and inverse instruments. This is a very important part of my Trading!
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 the public, not just the privileged. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I cannot buy puts in all my investment accounts. Inverse funds are the only way for me to play the downside in the market, without them I would have to go to cash and sit and wait for the market to turn back up.
I'd rather use a leveraged fund than deal with trading futures.
