I am against the proposed legislation, as I am capable of making risk/reward decisions better than government bureaucrats.
As an American citizen I should have the right to invest in any products anyone else can invest in regardless of my financial status and regardless of my educational background. Quit trying to squash the little guy. Stop all these regulations and remove many of the regulations that prevent people from investing the way they want to.
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. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me! Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. Leverage and inverse funds help me hedge my investments.
This is insane. If I want to take on a large risk profile who are you tell me what to invest and not invest into. This is borderline communism not letting me pick and choose where to place my money in a free and open market
While politicians get rich off the market and their insider trading this is not the time to restrict us American citizens from being able to work with leveraged and inverse funds. I am a big boy and should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.
I am quite capable of making my own decisions thank you very much. If I want to invest MY money in staid and safe vehicles I will, if I want to take a bit more risk, that is MY choice.
I use leveraged funds to protect my money. For example, by using a 3x leveraged fund, I can invest 333 rather that 1000 if the fund wasn't leveraged. If I invest 1000, and it goes down 50%, I only have 500 in my account. If I lose all the amount in my leveraged fund, I still have 667 that was never invested which is more than if a non-leveraged fund goes down 50%.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Why put restrictions on me? I am not a market manipulator with my small investments of a few thousand dollars. If any regulation is need it is the vary large investors who can swing the market left or right. I need to protect my retirement portfolio to ensure I do not become a burden on my children or on the government.
I oppose any restrictions on what I can invest in specifically but not limited to inverse funds
