It's insulting that you would limit what we can freely trade. You'll happily tax on profits, and everyone understands the downsides to investments. This arbitrary limitation is simply another tool for you to exert power, create more onerous regulations and limit the free exercise and potential profit of regular investors.
While Investments can be risky, it is important for people to have the option to invest their money in any public funds of their choice. I do not see why limiting access is appropriate unless there is a nefarious motive.
Every investment caries risk; the products sold through ProShares discloses the risks of their products. I dont not feel it is necessary to make purchasing a product more difficult. I sue the products to help balance my portfolio. I appreciate leaving things as they are.
Stop the oversite on every facet of individuals. We are very capable of making our own decisions. Enforcing a class or any other costly and/or time consuming situation is not necessary.
After investing for a little over 10 years, my most successful years are when I started investing in leveraged ETFs. Eliminating the leveraged ETFs from the choices of investment vehicles is the wrong decision. Yes, leveraged ETFs are volatile, but so are individual securities, mutual funds, and options. I understand the volatility when I invest in them and assume the risk myself. Investing in individual stocks can be a risky investment as well.
Hands off and stop this incessant greed, corruption, and oppression. There is a reason we choose to be autonomous.
I am a 24 year old investing for the long term and have faith in our economy moving forward, if you can short stocks, why cant you double down on pro shares. Please let us invest!
Not cool bro, not cool. The public is always your best interest.
You would be infringing upon the rights of so many people by making it harder for the general public to invest in ways that would set them and their families up for future security and success. The working/middle class deserve the same transparency and choices as any privileged high earners.
