While the proposed improved regulations / reporting are taking a step in the right direction there needs to be further reporting of data to the public made in as close to real time as possible. As the movement of retail traders being involved in managing their own investments continues to grow, the playing field should be as even as possible for all parties involved. If we are investing with a
I am a grown man who has invested for many years. I do not need a regulator telling me what I can and cannot do with my own money. These leveraged and inverse funds are no different than investing in growth stocks and other companies. All go up and go down. These funds are an important way that I hedge my portfolio. Please do not restrict my freedom.
I oppose any new regulation that is going to limit my ability to freely buy and sell shares of certain stock. As average middle class citizens trying to get by we are already getting stretched thin with the recent lowering of the $600 threshold (1099) with this current awful administration, and now this. Stop proposing measures that will only hurt average middle class citizens trying to better
I am asking that you do not take away the right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I am 80 yrs old, understand very well how the funds work as I have used them for many years, both losing and gaining just like any other stocks and funds. They have always been explained very well without needing further involvement with restrictions and education.
Please protect my interest in leveraged and inverse funds. Inverse funds do a great deal of good in balancing a portfolio. I hope that future regulation widens access to securities, and does not prohibit access based on income, or net worth. I also hope that public access to investment products continues without the need for special testing or license to buy and sell stock and that public
Limiting investors choice to determine the best investments based upon their goals is unwarranted and detrimental Investors who use unique investment strategies (ie options, crypto currencies, shorts, high yield bonds, leveraged ETFs) should not have to incur an additional regulatory burden. There are many complex investments and they have been utilized by investors for decades. The
Leveraged and inverse funds are an important of investing for everyday Americans as well as for the privileged. On this May 5th sell off day...a tv talking blamed leveraged funds in part, but the day before had a very large gain and no credit was given to them at all. And if they do cancel these instruments will retail still get blamed for the sell off? Yes...that is what they call us. What we
I find the very premise that in the largest capital market system in the world, there are regulators that are attempting to not allow inverse or leveraged ETFs. To say this is disingenuous would be taking it easy. Lazy is another word. Brokers, and financial advisors exist for reason as does compliance departments. The reality is the average investor is not going to know how to short or buy
Comments: I am so angry that I am beside myself! So let me get this straight. My Federal Government over stimulated the US Economy to buy votes with poor folks and is determined to double down with "Build Back Better" but they do not want me to say NO! or sell SHORT! In that they are wrong, and I could make a lot of money on their stupidity. Credentials: 1. Florida State University
I am an individual retired investor. I have been using inverse and leveraged ETFs and ETNs with very favorable results for several years and do not think that the proposed restrictions are necessary nor advisable.
I have found them very useful and profitable to use and understand the complications and dangers well I think. They are not that complicated to understand.
Possibly for unusual things
