I have been investing in these types of securities for a very long time especially if closed end funds are included in the list, it has been well over 20 years and I already understand the risks and have ridden through the crash of 1987, the tech bubble, crash of 2008-2009, etc.
I think these types of investments (leveraged funds, etc.) should not be any more regulated than they currently are
NASD is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") a proposed rule change to adopt rules relating to a new Trade Reporting Facility (the "NASD/NSX TRF") to be established by NASD, in conjunction with the National Stock Exchange ("NSX"), that would provide members another mechanism for reporting trades in Nasdaq-listed equity
Comments: Dear FINRA, I fully understand the composition and risks associated with complex leveraged funds. They are short term in nature and utilize complex derivatives, mostly swaps which may or may not be regulated by public markets. They are an excellent way of maximizing short-term returns when identifying a correct short-term trend in a particular market sector. After voicing concern many
