I should be able to choose the public investments that I determine right for me. While I appreciate the regulators intention, they should not infringe on the retail investors RIGHT to trade all publicly traded funds when the risks are well known. Inverse funds are an important investment strategy for me, especially in times of a bear market. Sorry, not my fault it isn't working out for the
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. There are certain times when inverse mutual funds work well in my portfolio. Not having availability to these types of investments would force me to use futures to achieve my goals and protect my portfolio in turbulent times. We all know
This rule is so un-necessary. Leveraged and inverse funds are extremely important to my families investment strategy. I use hedges and stop losses and paid advice from investors with over 30 yrs experience to carefully manage these funds. These are a small but very important part of my portfolio and it makes no sense to have to pass a test to make these well thought out and previously successful
The way the stock market is set up for the larger entities to easily outweigh performance of the average retail trader is completely absurd. With stocks that are being massively shorted, much like Tesla (TSLA) was back a few years ago, and other stocks now like Gamestop (GME), AMC Theater (AMC) , Nokia (NOK) and many more, it allows such a distrust in the system for who can make money FAIRLY. If
When I buy and hold a stock, like AMC, the obvious hope and intent for me is that the price will go up and I will make a profit. So it doesn’t make sense to me that an entity that holds my shares for me, like Robinhood for example, can lend my shares to someone else then the borrower uses my shares to short and drive down the price. They benefit by achieving their goal of lowering the price, the
Is this not a free country? I should be able to choose what investments are suitable for my portfolio. Why should this investment only be reserved for a chosen few? I shouldn't have to prove myself to regulators that I am perfectly capable of making investment decisions that are in my best interest. While I've utilized these products for years, they are not my complete strategy, but a
The multi-week period following the end of each quarter when most public companies release their earnings reports is known as earnings season. Wall Street analysts, financial media and investors often eagerly anticipate reports from many major firms during earnings season and monitor how they might impact individual stocks and economy-wide narratives.
The risks of investing are well known. Loss of capital is always possible. The risks of investing in leveraged and inverse funds are equivalent. As an investor, I don't need the government to tell me what I may or may not invest in. Your duty is not to protect me from myself, or from possibly poor decisions I may make. At the limit, your duty may be to inform me of risks, but beyond that, it
Dear Sirs, for several years I have been investing in the market and I am well aware of the risks and rewards of the available assets and tools to negotiate them. I am a retired small trader with accounts at three different brokers, therefore I wrote three of these comments, one for each platform. I am an educated person and feel comfortable and aware of my investment proficiency, Please, do not
Dear Sir/Madam:
Leveraged and inverse funds are a vital part of helping me to hedge my portfolio and avoiding constant trading. I use these tools to short the S&P 500 or other indexes when they have become frothy (in my view). These products reduce the volatility and allow me to stay in core positions longer. I use them as short-term hedges and the risks of staying in them too long
