I have invested in leveraged funds for over 20 years. Although they have risk, I am retired and would like to preserve wealth. I do this through leveraged funds. By investing 50% of my invested cash in a 2x leveraged fund, I get a return that is less than 2X in a given year but over a long period of time, I am likely to get more than 2X due to compounding. I understand these instruments are
As an individual investor I consider
leveraged and inverse investment funds very useful to manage risk in my overall investment portfolio. They represent a minority but important percentage of my overall portfolio and are utilized to help offset and mitigate risk in my more Substantial longer term positions on a short term basis, avoiding disruptive transactions in my long term holdings.
I am
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. These funds are important compositions of my portfolio. It makes investment more rewarding for many of us. Without these funds, I will have to invest in stock options instead when I want to use leverage. The restriction on my rights makes it unfair for me in comparison with investment agencies who have more resources,
I have recently established a brokerage account which was made available by my company. I have applied a portion of my 401k income towards leveraged funds. I am well aware of the risks and consider myself to be an informed investor. I do not believe I should have requirements imposed such as tests. Nor do I believe I require a cooling off period as I have already invested effort and expense into
I should always be able to choose the investments that are right for my portfolio. Public investments like leveraged and inverse funds should be available to everyone and not just the privileged so called experts. This restriction sounds familiar to the last time the market began to pull back in 2007/2008 and I find it interesting that every time the government prints more money and the Fed
I am writing in regards to possible legislation which would limit the use of leveraged and inverse ETF's. I ask that you please do not limit or get rid of these ETF's. These financial instruments have given me the ability to grow my retirement account faster and provide supplemental income for my family. If you want to put an additional disclaimer that investors are required
Hello, I wish to keep the ability to use leveraged and inverse ETFs in my trading. I use these to protect my account. For example, I use the 2x leveraged inverse treasury ETF (symbol TBT) to protect bond holdings in my portfolio as interest rates rise. I have used inverse Nasdaq 100 leveraged ETF (symbol SQQQ) to protect my holdings in technology stocks when the market enters a down trend.
I completely oppose restrictions on any leveraged ETFs for retail traders. This is our money and we demand the right to choose how we invest and trade. Are you going to restrict our ability to buy and sell options soon? Or how about simply prevent people from even trading stocks? Are you going to force us to put money in CDs only? One thing leads to another. The absurdity of preventing
I'm appalled to hear that regulators want to restrict access to these investment products. Why is it that all of a sudden they are considered with complexity and investor protection when they weren't before. Do they fear that there isn't enough liquidity in the market to support the potential valuation of these products as the stock market continues to be volatile and
This proposal is a deliberate attempt to take the right away from the small individual investor to have and purchase leveraged and inverse funds in their accounts to take away the small investors slow reaction time (in comparison to Wall Streets fast computers). Small investors don't always have time to react to market dips and crashes. Large firms with computerized buying and selling
