Stop trying to save everyone from the consequences of their decisions. Every investment has risks. Investing is all about risk management, and inverse and leveraged etfs are very useful in not only magnifying returns, but also as insurance. Please do not make it harder for average investors like me to manage portfolio risk.
As an individual we should have the right to exercise the daily leveraged and intervein ETF'S in our own portfolios as we are aware of the risk. We have a strong understanding of the characteristics and risks L & T funds etc. That we are monitoring the L & T funds. My brokerage firm provider us with the warning risks that is associated with L & T funds and other
I very much oppose these proposed restrictions. Any and every stock issue carries risks inherent to the individual stock, and these are no different. It is up to the investor to educate and investigate the risk and determine whether it fits within their own risk profile. This is not for the regulatory industry to define, unless the information and prospectus is giving false and/or misleading
Individual investors should be free to determine their own level of acceptable risk. The responsibility should be on those offering securities to clearly explain the risks and in individual investors to accept those risks. Individual investors should not be required to pass tests or meet a bar of net worth in order to purchase publicly available securities.
I am not a full time investor. I feel very confident that the risks of leveraged funds are not difficult to understand. I feel it is no different with ordinary stocks or funds. I believe the index leveraged funds are actually more clear on what my risks are. Please do no limit such flexibility. Brokers make it clear that these options require more knowledge of risks.
Let me invest how I want to, leverage is a powerful strategy that I understand the risk of. I'm 19 years old I have the ability to be extremely risk tolerant yet don't have a large net worth. Don't gut my Roth IRA and my savings no matter how much risk I intend to take on. Thanks.
As long as we understand the risks with Leveraged Funds, why should they be regulated? Most brokers require you to check off warnings, so they know, you understand the risks. I use leveraged funds as a large part of my portfolio and also understand the risk v reward.
As a retail investor I should have the ability to invest in what I like
Leveraged and inverse funds are important part of risk management. These funds make it possible to use a small percentage of capital to risk manage the other side of a trade. There are plenty of SEC / FINRA regulation as well as documentation on investments to understand the risk. Should investors ignore reading the documents of any and all investments that is the investors choice.
I use leveraged and non-traditional investments to diversify and take measured risks in my portfolio. Individual investors are only risking their own funds. Individual investors have never posed a structural risk to the economy. No broker is pushing non-traditional or leveraged investments onto their customers, so the only people using them are those that have made the decision of their own will
