I’m shocked by the leave of corruption and illegal activity the hedge funds take part in, As bad as I hate to say it, if changed ain’t made towards these criminals i & many other will be stepping away from the US Stock market. Changes need to be made.
Dear Regulators, (FINRA)
I understand my investments and the risk involved in my trads. I should not have to go through any special process before investing in public securities. The fund I am in allows trades for up markets and down markets which allows me to make up my loss if any by shorting different funds. Like today's market, I have been able to make money for my IRA instead of
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.
Frankly, I find this federal overreach. This regulation would be taking away my ability to hedge long positions in my portfolio with leveraged short positions, thus allowing me to reduce execution costs, margin costs etc. Frankly it also props up the buy side dealers in their offering of more expensive hedging products. These types of ETF's are a simple way to hedge and do not need any
I use leveraged funds to hedge my accounts in volatile markets. They are a particularly efficient and inexpensive way to do that in a short-term way. Regulations make short-selling as a hedge very difficult and cumbersome; the ability to access leveraged ETFs levels the playing field for retail investors who do not use brokers. I understand the risks and decay of the instruments, but those are
This smells like a rat to me. I have seen leveraged ETFS taken away prior to large moves like the Natural Gas ETF UGAZ and USLV right before silver went up. It seems everyone is fine when a vehicle is a one way street to wall street pockets shorting them but as soon as the regular guy has a chance it is taken away. The risks to these are clearly spelled out and no action is required or warranted
my previous submission got out before it was finished. Inverse and leveraged funds provide an essential tool for retail investors to balance and hedge a portfolio at reasonable cost. It is impractical - and in some cases impossible - to effect short sales in a retail broker account. Having a ready tool to be able to reduce the market exposure in a portfolio is an essential part of investing for a
I am horrified and appalled that such a scam would even be suggested. There are trillions of dollars invested in leveraged and inverse etfs. In a bear market the inverse funds are the only things going up, as well you know. You cannot manipulate the market higher by effectively banning short selling, which is what this does. It will not work. As for me, if you institute these rules or anything
As an investment professional, using these products in a responsible way with educated investors are an important to managing appropriate risk depending on market conditions. For less affluent retail investors who may not be able to use margin, options, or shorting strategies on their own, these products can give them access to strategies that can help them hedge their risk. These products are
