I as an investor am well informed of the risk associated with a leveraged fund but am also aware of the benefits of these as they allow me to have insurance against market swings without having to allot a large portion of my portfolio.
They have a place for a personal investor like me so I do not have to invest a larger portion of my portfolio in riskier option trading or short selling for
Comments: Im a retail investor who takes responsibility and ownership of my trading and investing activities.
Leveraged and inverse products are useful trading vehicles for retail investors who dont have easy access to short selling, swaps, or other forms of leverage.
The products are easy to understand for anyone who takes the time to read the fund prospective and objectives.
I feel that FINRA
1.) Limiting investment opportunities to those with high net worth is inherently un-American and is borderline predatory on those who would be excluded from making these investment plays.
2.) Leveraged and inverse funds are crucial to my short and long term investment strategies. Information and notices are provided with these, and should continue to be. Expanding information requirements is a
With the availability of information over the internet it is no longer reasonable to think that investors are not educated in all aspects of funds trading. Last year a group of talented amateurs was able to commit a short squeeze against major bank holdings that were too sure of their own intelligence. This clearly follows that basis to protect vested corrupt interest to the detriment of the
What are you people worried about what the retail investors think about short interest now for? This is all a big scam. All the major parts of the government "watchdogs" haven't done a [REDACTED] think. What makes you people think "We" think you all will do a [REDACTED] thing?? It's all wrong and you all know it!! Stop letting these hedge funds break the [REDACTED]
The amount of blatant market manipulation is putting a huge amount of doubts in the US market. As retail investors, we DESERVE transparency in all aspects. If they can see what we're trading, we should be able to see what they're shorting. If the SEC actually did their jobs, we wouldn't be in the situation that we're currently in when it comes to AMC/GME. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Comments:FINRA should restrain from limiting access to leveraged funds. These funds are suitable for any investor that understands how leverage can be effective in achieving a financial goal. Obviously these funds are more for short term trading so the trader should be vigilant. Long term inexperienced buy and hold investors are better served elsewhere. Any investor should have access to these
I do not want regulators to limit the use of inverse and leveraged funds to the general public. This would limit my ability to invest using my retirement accounts, in which other investment strategies are not allowed, such as options and short selling. If these funds are straight forward to investors through the prospectus and following current regulations, no other measures should be imposed on
I am a small private investor with a great deal of experience however I might not measure up to your new strict standards.That concerns me as I use these investments as short term hedging vehicles. I shouldn't have to go through a special process to qualify, what brokerages have in place now is very adequate. Your proposed new rules would make these products the exclusive trading grounds of
1) Daily short reporting, not this every 15 days nonsense. If we rob a bank we go to jail, the hedge funds pay a $1,000 fine and go back to work and profiting. 2) No more restricted trading. Blockchain type IDs for every share issued and no borrowing of shares at all. 3) No selling of shares that don’t exist at made up prices. Get rid of the market maker exception. This violates the law of supply
