Shouldn't we know exactly where each share of a company is located? If traders are loaning their borrowed shares, we should know that as well, otherwise, we are building a house of cards.
I believe as an investor, I have the right to buy leveraged and inverse funds as I have been doing so. It is inequitable for regulations to be made based on income and privilege of the individual. As it is my decision to invest in leveraged funds, I am fully capable of understanding the risks that come with investing in the funds. Investing in leveraged and inverse funds contribute to my
I am Retired, and manage my IRA myself. I listen carefully to a variety of Investors using TV and Internet sources. I frequently utilize ProShare Leveraged and Inverse Funds in this endeavor. I am fully-aware of the Risks of using these vehicles Long Term. I use them for Short Term Opportunities. I would like to use these Funds well into my Future Retirement Years.
Please keep your rules out of my investment strategy. I invest for myself and the well being of my family and leveraged funds are a significant part of my strategy. It is inappropriate to exclude the general public from investment vehicles that are available to the elite. It is also quite possible for anyone with more than an 8th grade education to understand risk and leverage.
It is our rights to buy or sell all the public traded funds. Every stock or fund traded publicly has its risks and we understand it well. We as small investors shouldn't be discriminated by this restrictions. We need the freedom to decide which stocks or funds we want to buy as they are very important tools to achieve our long-term financial goals.
It is well within my rights to be able to determine the risk I'm willing to entertain with MY money.
I use leveraged/inverse ETFs to hedge my portfolio. I don't need to partake in any special process or pass any tests to do so, and I don't appreciate the nanny state trying to limit my access to ANY investment, wise or not.
Educate, yes.. Limit, No..
This is an assault on the public securities markets. These special ETFs are important public investment vehicles for the public on various accounts. Liquidity, time interval money management allocations, diversification, as well as speed of execution. First step to socialistic overreach insulting the investing public's freedom to buy liquid fund investments traded on exchanges , with
I regularly maintain positions in 2x leveled ets for the purpose of hedging and to maximize my upside without the use of margin debt or options with expiration dates. Products like SSO and QLD allow me to be patient, as well as invest less cash to achieve the same or similar performance as spy and qqq; each of which require putting up double the cash at risk.
Personalized financial risk should not regulated or decided by a 3rd party. Individuals should be allowed under a freestanding republic to partake in behavior that is deemed by others as risky if it does not harm nor impose on others freedoms. This is such a case. individuals should be allowed to decide their own personal fate, not be dictated/FORCED by others no matter how well intentioned....
Dear FINRA,
As an informed and educated investor I use inverse indexes as a hedge for market downturns. We all know market trends fluctuate to the upside as well as the downside and this is a part of my investment strategy. By continuing to allow consumer investors like myself to use inverse indexes levels the playing field and allows all investors access to 'free' markets.
