Comments: These complex products are important for clients to be able to hedge theri portfolios.
MEME stocks and excessive margin has created much more volatility and seems to be unregulated at the firm level where these ETF's are.
My concern is if these are limited then it will drive investors to other less visible aggressive investments
I do not agree with the regulation money and currency or what in the same if it holds a value than it should be considered to be a stable currency and there should be regulations on what makes you fit into that bracket after your stock or currency has not stayed above a certain price 4 2 annual terms or something like that
Retail investors deserve proper and timely disclosure of information, the amount of Information that is misreported is incredibly misleading. Please do something about this broken system, institute changes that bring positive outlook to the future of the stock market, for all participants.
I dont follow the logic on this proposition. People are allowed to yolo their life savings into penny stock options but a leveraged form of a much more diversified investment is being banned? It doesnt make sense to me. This seems performative and not addressing any specific issue we see causing problems.
My family is in an awkward position. With me as the main breadwinner, I need an income with a work from home job. I have studied stock trading for years and require access to both leveraged and inverse ETF's. Mostly, I use them for hedging my investments and this is crucial in any market condition.
I have been using these funds as part of my portfolio for over ten years and I should not be forced to stop. I dont have the time to research individual stocks but I can follow trends in our economy. That is why I like these funds. Please do not make any changes. Bill Grigat
Hello,
I am in my forties and I have been investing for the past twenty years. I feel that this is unneeded regulation. All stocks have risk. I currently use my leveraged and inverse funds to help protect my portfolio. This money has helped me to pay for my home.
Leveraged and inverse funds give people the ability to grow their wealth and shouldn't be restricted to certain privileged (mostly wealthy) individuals. Why single out these investments? There are many risky stocks that have higher volatility and risk than leveraged and inverse ETFs. This is arbitrary and hurts the small investor.
I strongly oppose the effort of regulators to limit my ability to purchase leveraged or inverse investments. I am educated and well aware the risks of purchasing such products. As the last 5 months have dramatically proven, these types of products, like any stock, has the ability to go up or down significantly.
If I wish to lose money its my choice. You guys did nothing when General Motors ticker symbol changed in 2008 and allowed people to invest in a stock which was no longer linked to a company, now you are concerned that we are not smart enough?!??? Give me a break!
