I have been investing in leveraged ETFs for over 8 years and fully understand the risks associated. I have traded both the long and short versions. I have both lost money and made money. I believe that all investors should have access and the ability to trade in these. The freedom to choose investments that could
help you achieve long-term financial security is extremely important.
I have in crypto space for a little over two years, with a little instruction, anyone can invest. Regulating it like real estate is very short sighted from a taxable income source for government, and it is up to individual to exercise choice of investments and risk vs return. In addition bureacracy does not teach the valuable lessons of experience in investments like success and failure.
Hello, I realize you think you're helping, but you are definitely not. My ability to invest in leveraged, inverse funds has been the ONLY thing that has allowed me to hedge my portfolio in this year's market downturn. If you take it away, I'll be forced to hedge by shorting individual stacks and hope I choose right. That is much more dangerous.
I already need special approval from the brokerage to trade these products. Leveraged and inverse funds are primarily used to hedge risk and lower volatility. These new regulations will disadvantage smaller investors. Do you want us to return to "selling short" to achieve our goals? If so, that would entail a great deal more risk.
This is a prime example of regulatory
I am an individual investor for more than 30 years. Inverse leveraged ETFs have played a major part in my success! I am conveniently able to hedge my portfolio from downturns. Without inverse ETFs I would have to take on unlimited risk by shorting.
I strongly discourage any effort to eliminate this valuable portfolio management tool!
I understand that an unprecedented threat by regulators is being considered. The implications will be negative in a free market and this should not take place, I have been trading long and short term leveraged equities for many years, and feel it is my right to do so I know you can stop this intended regulations being considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Thank you
I getting tired of branches of government creating new ways of making life harder to get ahead. For retirement, short and long term investment and more. Every time something new trickles down to us common people to better ourselves you decide to regulate the hell of it. Making it harder to be able to do for myself and better protect my future outcome.
I strongly support stricter reporting requirements on short positions held by market makers and prime brokerages. It is increasingly necessary that FTD information be presented to the public as a way of not only limiting abuse of the FTD system, but also to reveal obfuscated information that is not readily available to the market and is often times concealed or miscategorized in reporting.
I have traded these leveraged and inverse funds for many years. They should be available to all not select few. The test is just another unnecessary bureaucratic hurdle for people who can read and understand the risk. These funds are useful in short term trading as an overnight or 2-3 day vehicle that can be used with less leverage than a futures contract. Your consideration appreciated.
Everything related to TQQQ and other leveraged stocks is simple and easy to understand. Limiting who can buy, use, or purchase them would impact investors around the world greatly
