I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all the public, not just the privileged. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. They are an important part of my portfolio that fall into the category- high risk. Dont try to overreach and keep these funds available to all.
I invest some percentage of my portfolio in leveraged etfs to decrease my risk across my portfolio. As a retail investor I have access to so many avenues to do my research before buying a ETF. Please don't restrict them as they have been a great tool for me. I understand and assume all the risks
I have rich investment experiences and understand risk of Leveraged ETF, it is IMPORTANT for my investment, such as spends less cash to holding expected percent of securities. it also help hedge of risk in between my securities holding.
I hope I can free trade it in future. I want NOT passing any test before I can invest in public securities.
Comments:Why do you propose new rules when these are just fine? They give access to profits, previously only available in much higher risk commodity futures trading. Do you propose to limit that too? The risk and rewards are made abundantly clear, as they are stated in the prospectus. Just leave well enough alone. Ty.
I am opposed to the proposed regulations by FINRA regarding investing in leveraged and inverse ETF's. These ETF's allow me to invest during advancing and declining periods of the stock market. I do not appreciate regulators putting any restraints on my ability to do that. There are risks in any kind of investment and it is up to me to decide what risks I intend to take.
This is absurd. I am quite willing and capable of making my own financial decisions. Leveraged instruments are used many different ways in addition to speculating. Hedging, for one very important application. Those of us that are professional and/or serious traders NEED instruments like these. It LOWERS our risk, it dos not increase our risk.
Investors should be able to choose what public investments are right for them and investors should not be unreasonably restricted by various tests and hurdles before investing . There should however be warnings messages in plain language for certain funds that have high risk. Warnings, however, should not be road blocks. I do invest in inverse and leveraged funds and understand their risks.
The lack of transparency with short interest is triggering a crisis of confidence in the US markets. The uncertainty regarding systemic risk is creating a systemic risk in and of itself. The crisis is just beginning.
I can pick my own investments, my money not regulators. I am capable of understanding the risk of my investments and do not need to take a course or pass a test to buy leveraged or inverse funds or ETF's. Leverage and inverse funds are important tools to help hedge the risk and create large profit opportunities in both up and down markets.
I disagree with the notion that only high net worth investors should be qualified for leveraged ETF products. While you are seemingly attempting to protect unsophisticated investors from having to deal with losses, you are simultaneously broadly removing investors with a higher risk profile whom understand the risks, from participating. Discrimination masked as protection in other words.
