i've traded inverse and leveraged products for several years and will continue to use these for short and medium term trading. perhaps investing platforms could implement automated or assistive a. i . approach to apply stop loss exits based on volatility and guidelines for loss mitigation. thank you. ps the inverse products are especially useful in declining markets when volatility
I have traded these products for thirty years. I understand the risks and rewards.These products are needed for liquidity, price discovery and hedging. The volume of these products clearly shows that they are needed. Investments must be available to all members of the public, not just to s select few, selected by some arbitrary process. A signed document, in the customers account file, that
I have been successfully trading in leveraged ETFs for over a decade. I had not been able to save much for retirement but the leveraged ETFs have allowed me to catch up on the shortfall in a meaningful and substantive way. The use of leveraged ETFs is the very foundation of my trading methods. Eliminating effective tools from the market will be devastating to my plans and hope for a comfortable
It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu, but except rich people. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged funds are. If there must be something to be cancelled, option trade should be
It is not the role of regulators to allow what investors can or should invest in. Regulators should however look at conflicts of interest, such as congressmen and women trading individual stocks. Dont limit the options of everyday investors who are already at a disadvantage. Regulate the advantaged (make hedge funds report more information, ban individual stock trades for congress, etc.) and
It is in regard to FINRA and L&I. We don't need another regulation on the top of other regulations. My brokerage firm already provides ample warning regarding the risks. I find it sufficient trading these ETFs. I have been trading these ETFs past 25 years I know what I am doing and the risks. Government is not in the position to dictate what is good for me. No more
To regulate L&I index funds is a grossly misguided decision. If FINRA seeks to protect investors from complex products, they should instead go after options, derivatives, short-selling, and other truly complicated financial practices. L&I funds are traded by average retail investors like me in the same manner that stocks are traded; they are simple to understand and necessary to
Comments: These L&I funds allow for simple day trading without the complexity of initiating margin and shorting procedures to obtain the same results. The platform on which I trade notes that these funds are not for long term investments and it details the risks. These funds are what allow me to easily outperform the market. Without them, I would need to waste an inordinate amount of time
Comments:I am an individual investor who trades ETFs. I strongly request you don't try to control my trading because you are trying to protect the person who would use a hair dryer in a bathtub full of water. In other words you can't fix stupid. So stop trying to fix it by limiting everybody else who are capable of reading and writing.
Synthetic shares need to be penalized and/ or outlawed. Additionally, dark pool trading needs to be stopped. Brokerages that constantly short stocks should be required to reconcile at market value no later than 15 days following the first FTD prior to being allowed to trade openly on that stock.
