Inverse funds are used as a means to hedge investments. There is ample information and training online regarding short ETFs and therefore testing investors is an unnecessary administrative and financial burden. Regulations should not be put imposed on individuals who should have the freedom to manage their own risk.
Regulators need to provide level playing field for trading and investments. so far the it is sided with billionaires and bigtime investors who trade is billions of dollars. to have fair practice buy and sell is required as long and short. people invest based on their belief and not to be forced by anyone.
I am highly opposed to any regulation on leveraged or inverse funds. These are market tool to help public / personal investors perform strategies that can be effective. Please stop shorting billionaires from robbing the middle class instead. That would be so much more helpful!
FINRA, Please consider maintaining leveraged and Inverse funds and ETFs as viable investment tools for retail investors. Proshares and Fidelity always advice about the risk associated on using this products and I am full aware that this are short term investment products and as such they must be monitored frequently.
You are attempting to channel Retail investors into categories in an attempt to regulate their trades. If you would actually regulate the Banks, Brokers and Short Sellers these new regulations against Retail would be unnecessary. It appears that Retail traders have become a threat to your "Status Quo".
The ability to freely use stocks, permitted my life to be better
My children have benefited as well
These are complex financial instruments but less risky than options or individual stock ownership. Please do not regulate these.
please allow leveraged ETFs for seasoned investors that use these ETFs as a hedge against stock market drawdowns
I want to have maximum flexibility on the type of stocks, mutual funds, and all ETFs for my investment strategy.
It's important to me to be able to invest in leveraged etf's as they offer less volatility than many stocks.
