This is absolutely crazy.
Institutional investors and others have long had access to and the ability to invest in equities that were never available to the public, including pre-IPO, private placements, and other vehicles to either hedge their investments or generate returns they would otherwise not see.
Blanket limitations based on vague wording are not only wrong but another means of
I support leveraged and inverse etf
My ability to freely invest in all public securities, especially leveraged and inverse funds, should not be restricted in any way. For years I have successfully made investments in such funds, and in particular, appreciate the ability to hedge potential losses using inverse funds when the market has become overbought. Small investors such as myself should be afforded the same freedom to invest
Hello. Trading in these leveraged ETFs has changed my life.
I should have the freedom to invest in the manner as I see fit. No regulations.
why are you trying to limit 2x and 3x leveraged index etfs?
before you even thinking of that why dont you outlaw the entire Options industry where leverage is significantly higher sometimes 10x. and the derivative expires MOST of the time worthless causing 100% loss.
I have been purchasing leveraged securities for years. I use them as hedges. I realize they are complex investment vehicles. I understand the risk, and have lost money, but I have also made money. These are never primary investments, but regardless, not the governments place from allowing me to invest in what I choose and protect my investments.
Hi!
I've been investing since the early 2000s. I hear you want to increase awareness regarding leveraged ETFs. Not a bad idea. However, I was wondering if you could exempt those ETFs which have already been trading for more than 5 years. In my opinion, investors would have already found the risks associated within that amount of time with each of the ETFs within that timeframe.
I should be able to choose my investments!
