I respectfully request that individual investors such as myself be continued to be provided with the opportunity to invest the leveraged investment products, inverse or otherwise. I understand that long term investment in leveraged inverse products are very risky. However, I use these products for short term hedging purposes, and without them my investment portfolio would be subject to an
Selling things you don't own is illegal. Naked shorts and the failures to deliver are a major problem, and I am tired of every institution in this country being stacked against the little guy, while these hedge fund players make billions from manipulating the market and destroying what ever business they want. People should be going to prison for a very long time.
It is my opinion the markets should be as transparent and fair across all avenues. The lack of transparency and information tilts the scale away from the retail investor and in turn causes distrust towards further involvement. Short information should be required to be disclosed to accurately guage the status and balance of a trade, and to rule out any potential foul play or bad actors.
Leveraged funds are a vital part of my overall strategy. They are a small portion of my portfolio but they allow me a convenient vehicle to hedge short term risk, especially when I expect downward corrections. On rare occasions I have used them to enhance returns when strong uptrends are in place. Restricting these investments is unnecessary in a free market system and I urge you to keep these
I have been trading in inverse funds for many years. They are an important part of my portfolio. They can counter the downturns and bring a sense of balance to the financial markets. They reflect the TRUTH of poorly performing entities. Unfortunately, corporate buy backs and short squeezes are the real villains affecting true market valuations, not leveraged and inverse funds. It would be a
prison time for failure to delivers, ACTUAL penalties for naked short selling. Average American citizen fails to pay two credit card bills and goes to collection... repossession large market makers can just take the fine and continue not fulfilling their contracts to their customers. STOP MAKING FINES A COST OF BUSINESS AND ACT NOW TO STOP FINANCIAL TERRORISM
Why are we not doing anything about the naked shorting happening AMC? seriously is obviously not a priority for any of the top regulating officials and it’s sad. What if it were to happen to you or any of your kids, meaning if somebody was cheating you or your kid out of their hard earned money. Just sucks because this question and comments may not get anywhere.
I find it troubling that regulatory agencies would limit my ability to use cryptocurrency for the advancement of my personal financial future. It would be a miscarriage of justice to limit individual liberty by not allowing or limiting my ability to invest in Cryptocurrency. Also why not focus on hedge funds and big banks commiting fraud by shorting different crypto assets to profit themselves
I would actually prefer to see increased availability of leveraged and inverse funds. The leverage is comparable to having a margin account while using a cash account. The inverse works the same on shorting without a margin account. The funds hold the margin and manage the margin risks.
My "complication" is futures that move overnight while the funds are unavailable to
Comments: I oppose any further rule-making to limit access to so-called "complex products" (e.g. leveraged / inverse funds or ETFs). There are already plenty of warnings provided regarding the risky nature of these products. At my broker's website, for example, I receive a notification every time I attempt to purchase these products indicating their risky nature and
