This is a disgusting overreach by the government.
Retail investors and retail traders should be allowed to invest and trade in whichever financial products that are available to them. We sign numerous disclosures and acknowledge numerous warnings that are standard and provided by our brokerage platforms. We have the capacity to engage in this and should be allowed to take risks as we see fit, and
This is about my choice to invest the way I want to.
I've been managing my own investments since 2005. I know what risks I can take.
I use leverage in my current investments. Margin trading, currencies, options, ETF's, etc.
I have a very good broker that acts like a filter when I make an investment. We discuss ideas, my investing rules and the risks in the investment before
I strongly disagree with the addition of any new oversight related to leveraged and particularly inverse etf's. I use them to hedge/protect my family's assets particularly in periods of heightened volatility, which is becoming increasingly frequent as the machines/algorithms have taken over trading (an area that regulators don't appear to be overly concerned with).
please dont limit leveraged products, i use them daily to provide trading possibilities. i trade so that i can take an income from my portfolio. this is only one part of what i use but they should not be limited.
as investor and trader, we are aware of risks associate with trades, all trades. ETF including inverse etf are essential tooks we employ to adjust complicate, dynamic market conditions. I oppose restrictions to such etfs. thanks
To whom it may concern,
Please to not restrict the ability for individuals to trade leveraged securities. Please let individuals assume the risk to that they wish to carry. Disclaimers already exist describing the risk of such securities and the type of trading involved.
I am, in general, opposed to the need for additional barriers of entry to use leveraged and inverse funds. The existing regulations require stockbrokers to monitor age and balances of accounts, and already quiz traders on their experience using such investment tools. There is always a risk no matter what the investment, and there's no real difference between leveraged/inverse funds and
I have been trading for a couple of decades whether it being "Long or Short" leveraged funds. I don't need some regulator to tell me that I'm not sophisticated enough to trade my accounts. I highly oppose these regulations.
I think it is important to use inverse and leveraged funds as part of my trading strategy. I would like to be able to do my own investing without being limited by those trying to restrict my trading options.
I oppose your attempts to restrict my ability to chose my own investments. Publicly traded investments should be available to all of the public, not just a select privileged few and large institutions.
Leveraged funds and inverse funds are, if used correctly, be a powerful tool to add to a portfolio. I use them as a small portion of my investments. I understand and accept the risks involved
