I as an investor who chose to do my own research on a variety of public securities after seeking the advice of a financial advisor and broker am confident in my own abilities and do not require coddling and layers of testing and restrictions on my portfolio.
Its very strange in the timing of all this potential regulation, as the stock market is crumbling around us. Limiting the average person the ability to bet against the sp500 and profiting off of other peoples greed. I think inverse stocks are being attacked by regulators (ie Politicians) because they dont want the common person to profit off such a major impending stock market crash. Ill continue
Don't put any limits on free investments. Our Country was founded on Freedom and to limit the amount that a person can invest will shut down American's creativity and entrepenreurship.
I oppose the restriction in my right to invest as I choose!
The Inverse (unlevered) products of Proshares should not fall under the incidence of this regulation at all - as they provide liquidity, transparence and price discovery.
Hello
Regarding the proposed changes, I am concerned about the blocks being put on individuals and small investors like myself.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and you and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged, investment banks, hedge funds and wall street.
I shouldn't have
I am a regular investor with goals and aspirations. Why can't I invest a percentage of my assets in leveraged funds? Why do you think this a privilege is just for the wealthy? Please do not think you are protecting me. Instead, you are holding regular people like me back from investing in assets that we believe will improve our investment returns.
Please do not make any enhancements to current rules. The outcome will only limit retail investor access - allow the market to act independent.
