I have been investing in securities for over 30 years and believe I should be able to choose what public investments are right for me. Leveraged and inverse funds allow me to have a more diverse portfolio and help me to hedge (protect) my other investments in my margin brokerage account.
Placing restrictions on these types of inverse funds would be problematic for me as i count on this
I have been holding AQG for more than 10 years, need to be able buy and sell to adjust this investment. Plus, I wish AQG can deliver gain and/or dividend.
These regulations on leveraged products have much less risk then directly shorting an issue or using leverage or futures. To prohibit them indicates that only the wealthiest have access to such vehicles. How about banning stock buybacks instead? They're used to keep the market crashing as dishonest insiders liquidate their fake companies and get rich.
To whom it may concern,
Please allow me and my husband to continue buying and selling leveraged/inversed funds. Our social Security benefits are not enough to continue our lifestyle that we are accustomed to. It may not even cover our bills. We make hundreds/thousands of dollars monthly with the ProShares and Direxion Shares by selling/writing covered calls on them.
Thank you, FRED &
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 think this is a very bad idea. Restricting the every day investor's access to inverse funds is yet another way to keep him/ her from protecting a portfolio from any harmful or destructive actions committed by government and Wall Street actors. It would be yet another regulation that is blatantly rigging the game against the little guy. In a free country, people are supposed to be
It's my money and It's my right to invest it as I see fit. Why should I have to pass a test to invest my own money? Inverse and leveraged funds are important to my investment strategies. Please walk away from controlling my investment strategies.
We should not have to go through a special process to pass a test to invest in public securities. ALL public securities should be available for EVERYONE, not just the privileged.
Hello,
I feel like as an individual investor i should be able to choose investments given my own risk tolerance and time horizon. I am able to understand the leveraging aspects and the risks of such investment vehicles. I use such 'short' funds to hedge downside market moves, as the vast majority of mutual funds available for 401K investment are LONG ONLY funds.
All people have a right to invest in any fund, including leverage and inverse funds, the way they see fit. It is OUR MONEY! We should have the freedom to invest it as WE PLEASE!
